Wilson still confident in Bama’s offense

TUSCLOOSA | University of Alabama junior quarterback John Parker Wilson was a little taken aback after Saturday’s game at Vanderbilt by all the questions from reporters about the passing game. Many of the “What went wrong?” inquiries made it almost seem like the Crimson Tide had lost.

Wilson had completed 14 of 28 passes for 150 yards with one interception, which was his lowest output as a starter, and the second worst passing-efficiency rating of his career, 87.86. Yet still Alabama won convincingly, 24-10.

“It wasn’t too totally bad when we ran the ball like we did,” Wilson said Tuesday evening. “We didn’t put up the numbers passing that we want to, but we need to keep doing what we’re doing. We’re blocking well, we’re protecting like we should and if we keep running like we did we’re going to be fine.”

Alabama’s ability to take over the game on the ground definitely contributed to the lower numbers, unlike last year when the Tide almost never had the luxury of not throwing.

Nevertheless, the passing game, which was supposed to be the team’s biggest strength this season, obviously wasn’t clicking.

Re: Wilson still confident in Bama’s offense

Air Alabama has never been the case. For as long as I can remember it has always been 60% Run 30% Pass 10% Field Goals. Most of the reporters are looking for something to go wrong. The media wants some controversy to sell thier papers. Try this Saban slings headphones after incomplete pass.

That had to be the worst game I think I've seen Wison have. Hopefully he got it out of his system against Vandy.

Re: Wilson still confident in Bama’s offense

Agreed and if that was his worst game he should be on a upswing. Alabama may be going to introduce a couple of new wrinkles this weekend.
