It is actually true when it comes to pass protection. That's why it's imperative for Bama's offense to succeed with the plays called on 1st and 2nd down--to set up third and short, forcing the defense to more play honest.Everyone knows what is coming on 3rd and long when Bama has the ball. Many times in that situation, JPW had to pass under duress or had to rush throws, not allowing longer routes enough time to materialize effectively. If given the protection that OK affords Bradford, JPW could pick apart any defense.That's not saying that OK's OL line is overall better than Bama's, that just saying the Sooners' OL is better when it comes to pass protection.The problem with Corso's statement was that he resorted to a generalization.
