did anyone see the play were AJ threw to the Big TE, for some reason his name slip my mind, anyway Smelly on the other side was wide open streaking down the middle, he probably would have got caught but he had about 30 yrds open. It was a first down completion so cant really complain.

Was it Michael Williams?

I did see that and pointed it out to everyone watching at my house during the game.

I did see that.  That is one example, I think AJ has trouble seeing the field.  i can look at it again and be more specific.  I know MW caught the pass on the right side and BS was running down the other seam and looked to be wide open.

The play in question was in the 2nd quarter at the 10:56 mark.  Bama had just held UF after the Upshaw return.  It also looked like BS had leverage on the DB when AJ threw the ball to KB in the endzone on the first drive.  I will say Bama may have gotten lucky on the TD run by TR.  It did not look like the rec was set for a count before Hanks went in motion.
