Some of it is chicken or egg.  The quick release is part of the offensive scheme and you’ll see on the majority of his picks and near picks, it’s not the line allowing people to get to him, it’s passes that are floated or on the wrong side of the receiver.  I love McCord but like all QB’s when you’re game is to rush you’re going to make mistakes.

Now the line has totally let guys get to him too but generally he gets sacked when that happens.  And they’ve had their share of drive killing sacks so they’re not innocent here.

What is interesting though is that the games he’s suffered the most sacks are the games we lost. 12 sacks against Pitt/BC/Stanford and 9 in the other 7 games. But you’d have to really analyze that because good coverage can cause sacks just from the ball being held too long.  Overload blitzing can cause sacks and that can be more on the QB/WR’s, the scheme, or RB/TE’s picking up blocks.  People are quick to default blame the OL for sacks and sometimes it’s not their fault.
