i caught some flack here before the ole miss game and even dating back to before the season about our inability to throw the long ball (and by long ball i mean 40 yds or more).
don't get me wrong.... the most important thing a football team can have besides a great defense is a strong running game.... but when teams focus on your running game there isn't much better than setting them up and knocking them down by play action bombs right over their head for quick scores.
the ability of this team to effectively throw the long ball will be the difference in whether or not we can remain undefeated this season. at some point we're probably going to have to come back from a deficit in a game. i look forward to seeing how JPW and the passing part of the offense responds.
if it were not for the two connections last week to Maze and McCoy, we'd likely be 6-1 this week.
