We brought Colbie Young to be the big bodied WR who could high point the ball and win match ups.
The last play on offense we had a ideal match up. The very large Colbie Young one on one with a much smaller player and no safety help. If Young stops just past the goal line, comes back to the ball and high points it - then it is a TD or PI. Instead, he keeps drifting back and not only allows the defender to under cut him -- but also takes himself out of position to prevent the interception. The Coaches and Beck trusted him to go get the ball and he did not do his job.
This is particularly exasperating because Young made the same error a few plays earlier when the Bama defender face guarded him and did not draw the PI. When I saw the ball in the air, i was sure that Young was going to correct his error and go get the ball. I still cannot believe it.
