I actually thought our young OL did a creditable job of pass blocking. It
looked to me that the QB held the ball too long. No one had scored an offensive
TD against Bama since October and we scored two.
Injuries decimated our defense, and throw in the three game road gauntlet of
LSU, FSU, and the SECCG and even our limited depth was just worn down. Missed
tackles like we saw last night are a sign of fatigue, and that is one unit that
had every right to be tired.
We had two freshen, two sophomores, and a junior manning our OL last night
against a bunch of first round draft picks in Bama's front seven. As the season
has gone on they have gotten better and better. and most of them haven't had a
chance to fill out to SEC proportions yet.
If we find a QB that can go through his reads and get the ball to the right guy
quickly you won't even recognize this offense next year.
I share Jay's (measured in my case) optimism.

biggest issues are qb and o-line. We had guys open down field all day just like
the fsu game, but the qb had no time. When he had time, he made some horrible
throws---and some good ones. Particular to this game, the 1st int looked like
pass interference that wasn’t called and it was a game changer with the pic
deep in our territory. I thought the defender shoved our receiver from behind
and stepped in for the pic. The second pic was thrown 5 yards behind an open
man in the secondary with green grass ahead of him---who’s fault, I don’t know.
Blocked punt….enough said. Second half, man wide open and deep with nobody
behind him. Certain td, but not enough air under the ball and it gets tipped
away. Seriously, with a touch better blocking and a better qb this game is very
close if not a win for us. I believe bama was exposed. I like to root for our
conference, but I think bama gets eliminated in the first round. Just my 2
cents. We are very close to being a great team again. Go Gators!!!!
