Ainge had a quick release and was told to not get hit -- that was a Cutcliffe philosophy. This definitely padded our stats. Also, we failed to run the ball well last year and didn't throw deep. The best D against that is play the intermediate pass tight to prevent first downs. Blitzing becomes less successful with quick passes so the D's didn't blitz as much (this is a guess, I don't have stats on that). Regardless, this doesn't make our O line bad -- just maybe not as good as stats say. Think of it this way - -Ainge has some of the best stats in UT history, but you won't find his name being announced among the Top 5 QB's this weekend. Stats aren't everything, there are lots of factors to consider. The most important being Clawson is making some serious O line adjustments this year so last year may have little indictation of this years results. I remain optimistic though.
