Impressive stats under pressure...click the link for more details in the tweet below. I know everyone is swinging from Watson's dingaling after his game against Alabama, but check out how his stats compared to Coker's in the game.

1. Jake Coker was locked in

• Clemson brought consistent pressure but it never fazed Coker.
• Coker was 9-11 for 252 yards and two touchdowns when facing pressure from Clemson.
• That follows up a performance against Michigan State in which he was 12-16 for 129 yards and four TD.
• His playoff totals under pressure: 21-27 (77.8%), 381 yards and four touchdowns. That is a legendary performance.

2. Watson lives up to hype

• Coker’s performance may have come as a surprise, but Watson was the quarterback needing to live up to lofty expectations.
• He completed 11 of 17 passes under pressure for 151 yards, and also scrambled to avoid pressure six times, picking up 49 more yards on the ground.

He did get sacked a ton vs Clemson instead of throwing it away (or throwing a marginal pass).. But the fact he didn't turn it over was a great thing

Now for all the ones that didn't want Jake as the QB. You need to read this very slowly and say Thank you Jake for this year you gave us. just look at the stats from the playoff games. 21-27 77.8% 381 4-0 We couldn't have say for a better QB to lead the Tide to another NC. THANK YOU JAKE!!!

He improved when he needed to. That's the name of the game.

This is exactly why he'll get a shot in the NFL.

The improvement over the last 2 months of the season, with only the lone season's experience, is what NFL execs see as a really high ceiling. Couple that with his measurables, and he's bound to get a shot, maybe even drafted as high as 5th-6th round.
