Last Year Against Virginia Tech (Which was AJ's third year starting) Bama's stats were terrible.
McCarron was 10/23 for 110 yards 1 TD and 1 INT
AJ also took 4 sacks.
Bama only rushed for 96 yards as a team
Leading receiver was Jones with 2 receptions for 47 yards
Compare that to this year against WV.
Sims went 24/33 and 250 yards 1 INT
Henry and Yeldon both rushed for over 100 yards
Cooper led the team with 12 receptions and 130 yards
I'm not saying that Sims is better than AJ, but its just some nice food for thought.
