As kick off nears for the Sugar Bowl I think the deciding

factor will be Brandon Streeter's ability to improve KB2 passing game. He came in and re-built Cole Stoudt's confidence in 30 days and Cole looked like the Senior starter not the the 2nd stringer that stumbled in the season and lost the job to DW4. At times this year KB2 did not get the ball deep enough to Tee or Cain when they beat their man. He has to see that happen a split second earlier and trust the receiver to make a play and let it rip. Bama will try to take the ball out his hands by either making him throw or hand it off, they make him prove he can throw the ball before they let him run. This is my opinion but Bama will try to take out KB2 and Renfrow early like the crazy uncalled late and viscous hits our players took last year. I know is part of the game but if you can't beat a team straight up then take out the weapons is a Satan strategy. Good Luck guys not that you need it. Go Tigers!!!

I appreciate Streeter but the real factor in Cole's game was the playcalling. Chad insisted that Cole do something Cole wasn't capable of doing. Jeff and Tony utilized Cole's ability in their playcalling.
The only problem KB had with his passing game was vertical control when he was in the pocket. That was adversely affected by his injured ankle. There is no magic wand to wave over the kid's arm just good old fashioned rehabilitation.
I believe Bama will see that first year starter who everyone proclaimed had a better deep ball than Watson during the first part of this season. Gleaning through the comments made by Bama's players I think that is exactly what they expect.
