Watch other team highlights, teams that are winning are attacking. I know Becks deep throws are a concern, but I think he's being over coached. Sometimes you take shots downfield and give your receivers a chance to make a play, even if there is a chance of an interception. I'll take Dillon Bell in a one on one matchup every time. We were having no success on the edge, but kept going there. In the second half we had some success in the middle of the field, but only tried it a couple of times. Because we weren't threatening downfield, Kentucky's defense was able to move up close to the LOS, which hurt the run game.
The only reason Saban dominated Smart in all those very close games that were played, was that Saban never quit attacking offensively and we got conservative, playing not to lose. At some point you have to trust your players to make plays, not play conservatively and afraid to make a mistake. You can survive Kentucky that way, we won't beat Alabama and Texas that way.
