I was 10 rows up on the 50 yard line for that game. Rosier couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn. He missed Thomas on multiple big throws. He couldn’t even complete a quick screen that game. He had nothing on his throws whatsoever. Even the TD to Richards was a bad throw. Their were essentially 9 guys in the box and they played press the whole time.Our tailbacks ran the ball for 16 yards against Pitt. Show me a team that won a game with 16 yards rushing before you start blabbing about how we would have still lost behind Bama's O-line.
Good teams have tough games. Good and even great QBs are bound to have about a game on average every season where they stink it up. The difference in winning and losing in those tough games is almost always the ability to just line up, pound the rock, and grind out an ugly win.
So genius, I’m not sure how long you’ve been watching football but when you can’t even complete a quick screen, an aggressive D like Pitt is going to load the box and dare you to beat them deep. Rosier wasn’t up to the task that day or any of the last 5 games. He’s the sole reason we lost to Pitt.
