But he might be the guy defensive coordinators least want to see in a playoff game. Don\u2019t get me wrong, I know <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/college-football\/players\/29388894\/jeremiah-smith\/\">Jeremiah Smith<\/a> exists, and there aren\u2019t many defenses out there with a concrete plan on how to stop him, but you can at least slow him down if you put pressure on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/college-football\/players\/29391740\/julian-sayin\/\">Julian Sayin<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1bij9g79 _1bij9g78 _1mt21p01\">I don\u2019t know that you can pressure Russell. I swear there are no fewer than three times per game when, by all rights, Russell should be sacked. The defense has him surrounded in the pocket, with nowhere to go, but then the next thing you know, he\u2019s found somewhere to go, and he\u2019s gone there. Often going even further.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1bij9g79 _1bij9g78 _1mt21p01\">They\u2019re the kind of plays defenses can\u2019t plan for, and they\u2019re the kind that break your spirit. You do everything right, and it doesn\u2019t matter. First down, or touchdown, Alabama. Ya done been Keelon\u2019d. All things considered, Mississippi State actually did a decent job with Russell on Saturday. The Bulldogs did sack him four times, which brought his rushing total down to 16 yards.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1bij9g79 _1bij9g78 _1mt21p01\">Unfortunately, Russell isn\u2019t one of those mobile quarterbacks who are neutralized when you make them into passers. He had no problem throwing for 285 yards and three touchdowns on 22 attempts, which is why he\u2019s terrifying.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019m not going to argue that he\u2019s the best quarterback or player in the country.
