Sunday Hangover: South Carolina

Lots of passing and running after the catch from the Tide in this one. 

Najee Harris excelled as a receiver in this one, which is a wrinkle to the offense we didn't see much of from Harris last year. 

I am still concerned about the running game, however. Alabama only gained 76 net yards. The Tide needs to improve in that part of the offense. I pine for an offense that "has balance" as Coach Saban likes to say. 

And they need to improve on defense. They gave up 102 yards in rushing to one guy, and the Gamecocks had 135 net yards gained. 

After looking at the individual stats, I was astonished that the SC QB attempted 57 stinking passes. 

It was good to have the defense get three sacks though and five quarterback hurries. But with 57 attempts, those numbers should be higher. 

But in the end, Alabama only punted once. It was a crappy punt, but DeLong only had to punt once.
