[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 61069, member: 1640"] Not arguing here so much as playing devil's advocate. So here we go . . . (1.) The evidence to date is that Coach Roof has the defense on an upward trajectory. Until we see evidence to the contrary we can expect the defense to show modest improvement each year under his leadership. (2.) At the end of the year the ratings for college QBs had Lee virtually dead last in the nation. He threw almost as many interceptions as touchdowns. Against Pittsburgh his key throw was less than impressive but Smelter's recovery and catch was magnificent. Against uga they virtually gave him any pass he wanted to throw and concentrated on stopping Tech's running game. Mark Richt said as much at half time of that game and he was confident that Lee was not going to be able to keep that up for an entire game. (3.) Even Alabama does better passing when "not everyone in the stands knows" it is coming. What has made Alabama a decent passing team the last couple of years is that no one can run the ball down your throat better than they can. Having a solid running game will help Tech's passing. Lee's timidity with getting hit meant that we were running half of our option package much of the time. [/QUOTE]
