    Watch Jake's eyes ... he was throwing to what he perceived to be the hot receiver ... threw it in the wrong direction.

    That blitz by Bama was perfect. #22 fades toward the sidelines taking McGary with him while Harris blocks down to help Center leaving a gaping hole for Foster to run through untouched to Browing.

    Even more than that, the fake rush and peel by the Alabama edge rusher is not something that you see at the college level. If you look at the play and assume that the edge rusher continues rushing you'll see the space that was out there ...

    The miss in the read by Browning was that he got his eyes fixated on the immediate rush in front of him versus keeping his eyes down the field ...

    The other side of the blitz that stood out to me is that one thing you see in the NFL with zone blitzes and whatnot is that there's a lot of disguise in coverage and what you see isn't what you get ... it's like reading a mirage. The swing to the other side was the play that was open given the coverage ... but credit to Alabama knowing that QBs are often taught to throw into the hole vacated by the blitz and they covered it up tremendously. Go watch right before the snap #1 for Alabama starts running to cover the RB swing to the other side of the field in man coverage ... that's the weakness in that defensive call. But the only way any QB gets to that point is to be able to process a very complicated blitz call in rapid order.
