Relax! The greatest pass rush in history would not have sacked MTSU's QB. Here's why....

Went back and re-watched game. MTSU completed 20 passes. Only 9 were completed beyond the line of scrimmage. Their longest completed pass was caught 5 yds. downfield. The average distance downfield for each completed pass in the game was slightly less than 2 inches. Only 1 completion was in the QB's more than 2 seconds and he rolled out to his left before throwing it. We were not gonna get a sack in this game and neither would Bama, the Fearsome Foursome, or anybody else. What's kinda ironic is that Austin Peay and USCjr both used a real similar passing strategy against us. In other words, at this point, don't worry about the lack of sacks

Here come the "yeah, but..." clowns to provide a rebuttal. Don't you know we **** on the DL?

I appreciate you taking the time to do this. You make a lot of sense. I want to notice and reward this kind of post so we don’t devolve into chicken little complaining about everything.

You didn’t come in here like a know it all, you rewatched the game and took notes. Good job by you and thank you for setting my mind, which was already at ease, more at ease
