PJ Anectdote: The importance of blocking

That guy better get cracking on Urban Meyer's offense then. ;)

Maybe he should worry about Saban's first.

I think part of the not doing the fake pitch is that he was hurt most of the year. That probably ate at his confidence that he could get more yards than the pitch man.

He had a great fake pitch on the same play against MSU that he pulled his hamstring.

To do it effectively he needs his "burst" back that he never had after the string of injuries.

I will be interested to watch O-line play this year. In all honesty, the linemen's transition to the offense was much harder than for the backs and receivers, IMO.

Not only that, but the linemen had the most going against them in terms of physical specs and skills for making the switch. I think our line will do pretty well this year if they can avoid the 4-starters-injured kind of thing like late last year. Even so I think the 2-3 starters missing most or all of the spring will prove more of a blessing because of better depth and competition. Not just that but we can now do different combination of linemen to see who works best with who.
