i am still in the ''lets wait and see'' camp on harris. he won two starts last year and even though this game was a loss he had absolutely no time vs the bama pass rush. our oline absolutely must get better on pass protection but we started 2 freshman vs the #2 team in the nation that has nfl players at every spot. WE WONT SEE A D LIKE THAT THE REST OF THE YEAR. by the way, rbs brown, durant and jackson had 21 carries for 103 yds which was a 4.9 yds per carry average. to me that was a huge win by the oline. the qb scrambles to stay alive are what killed us on the carry average.
still think the dline and the lbs played well for most of the game. yes they wore down but DUH they were going against a heisman favorite and multiple nfl wr kids. bama averaged 3.5 yds per rush for the game. take out the ONE long run and we held them to 2.6 yds per carry. thats pretty good in my book. we also got steady pressure on tua. he is just so good and elusive. wow. we did make him earn it. he was not able to just sit back there but had to scramble to make the plays. our dbs were going against nfl level wrs and got beaten a lot. to me their big issue was once again tackling.
really going to be interesting to see how cut handles the edgar situation. wonder if he will be suspended for a half next week. i really thought that kinda opened the game up for bama. they were only up 14-6 and it was halfway thru the 3rd when it happened. a 5th year senior must be smarter than that.
