DBs were really, really bad at biting on SC eye candy and making the wrong reads. This could be one of the worst passing attacks we face this year in the SEC, yet guys were leaving people wide open over and over. Ridiculous is an understatement. Guys didn't know they were supposed to cover.
-1st SC TD, JQ did almost exactly what he did on the wide open TD he allowed vs Bama last year. He runs with the receiver that the safety was supposed to take across the middle and it left the receiver coming underneath wide open.
-2nd SC TD, both Bryant and Rayner bought on the fake toss and it allowed for the TE to go right past for the easy TD. It was Rayner's guy, but Bryant is more at fault; no reason he should be biting on fakes when
he is that far from the LOS and letting guys get behind him so easily. Really bad discipline.
-On a 3rd and long, Sellers rolls out, literally 3 DBs go with the deep receiver and the guy who Hairston was supposed to go with is just wide open for an easy 25 yard gain.
-Dunn decides to just grab and hug a WR from behind the moment he gets behind him. It would have been another SC passing TD. Defensive holding. Looked very lazy, Dunn never got past a jog.
-SC 20ish yard throw to the TE on a wheel route was ugly. Noone decides to go with the TE and he is wide open, its an easy TD if it were somebody with speed.
I know the biggest story was the OL, but I haven't seen so many blown assignments in the secondary relative to throws attempted in some time. Thats even with them having a backup who they don't even trust to throw the ball for almost a whole quarter. Guys got beat a couple times, but almost all of the worst plays were guys not knowing what to do.
