Defensive Touches of so-called 50/50 balls


Feb 18, 2019, 11:43 AM

I was pondering how you could describe TLs passes as 50/50 balls when there were no interceptions, when it occurred to me that there were not only no interceptions, there were very few defensive touches of the ball. I went backed and watched the game and only came up with four. One ball was batted at the line of scrimmage early in the game. One pass was broken up on a TL rollout to the right, throwing to the sideline. One screen pass was tipped up by the covering linebacker who made a very athletic play. A DB knocked the ball from Ross' hands on a sideline pass in the fourth quarter. I can't think of any other pass that was touched throughout the game. The DB on a crossing inside slant by Ross may have gotten a hand in, but I couldn't tell.

I'll be in Huntsville next week and I'm sure that discussion will come up.

Why do dogs always race to the door when the doorbell rings? It's almost never for them.


Surtain got his hand on one other over the middle

One of the things I said early about the difference

between TL land KB was that TL's "bad" balls were still put where only his receiver could come down with the ball where as when Bryant had a bad pass, it could be an int. I thought this is what made to next level talent.

There were no 50/50 balls against Bama. I do recall a few

in other games:

TL’s first pass against A&M for a TD to Tee.
TL to Tee against coots from inside the 20 down left sideline.
TL to Tee in end zone against Pitt.
TL to Ross for first TD against ND.
TL to Tee, TD right before half.
