I'm not so sure why Ivey was so highly rated out of high school. He played for Apopka but what a lot of people don't know is that team has a run only offense and has had it for years. They literally have like 6 plays the run (no pun intended) and that's all they do. The run it to perfection and just stomp everybody they play. The kid had zero practice doing pass protection during high school. On top of that much of his competition was inferior so of course he was going to look amazing on tape.
One doesn't exclude the other. I'd say both. How many gassers do you think Saban would've had Sharpe running after all those false starts? Wait.....don't answer that. His ass would be on the bench and Saban would pull up another from his 4 deep position.
During Saturday's UF vs. MO game, Palmer said, (paraphrasing) "Yes, the Gator line is young, but this far into the season, it is time for them to show some improvement, to step up and do their job."
Are these guys really that bad, or is it inept coaching?
