  In reply to: Could be a combination of YAC and downfield throws.  posted by Mr Wednesday



the sample size is 5 games, so I'm not sure what to make of it. I suspect we're headed back the other way this year, but with Martin in Kelly's ear, he might be able to influence him. I did like that we were trying to hit some deep patterns later in the year. Clearly the Oklahoma game is missing.

Alabama, as noted below, uses the run to set up the pass and makes a relatively large number of throws down field off play action (as Lou did.) I think they were 3rd in the analysis and 1st in deep completion rate (those numbers are phenomenal.)

Their receivers averaged 13,15,16 and 23 YPC, while some of that may be YAC, Alabama took a lot of shots downfield.
