nevermind, you're right. i give up. stats are great. much better than playing in atl. take out the cupcakes and i think the stats will reflect differently. i'm not interested in stats anyway, i like W's.
very misleading stats The real problem is you have an offense gaining near 500 yards and scoring 45 points per against far inferior competition, and then Auburn and Florida roll around and we score a massive total of 13 points combined. The complaint is legit. There's no doubt about that. When the game is competitive, the offensive game plan pretty much sucks. Therefore it is a legitimately debatable subject as to whether we need a new OC or not. Even in the Tennessee game, were it not for an incredible 4th down catch by Doucet, we would have scored only 21 points with over 450 yards of offense, and lost...again. That's a problem. Game should have never been that close requiring a gut wrenching last minute drive. What's funny is the some of the same people who keep spewing these stats (and believe me I am one of the biggest stat fans around....i spew them all the time myself ) are the same people who complain about other teams playing creampuff schedules (not directed at you AtlanaBengal). You can't have it both ways. The home schedule this season was a joke (I know we can't help it with the SEC sched, but we can with our OOC games). So we piled up the yardage and the points, which you would expect. And I am happy we did. There is no excuse for playing as poorly as we did in those 3 SEC road games. LSU was CLEARLY the better team in all 3 contests. We should have dominated offensively.
The complain was ledgit earlier this season, after those games had been played....NOT at the end of the year when we're sitting at 9-2 and ranked 8th in the country. It's like being disgruntled and in the midst of happiness, start screaming about the Hallman days of Tiger football. To me, it makes no sense. Complain when they happen--not far down the road when they don't compare.
Since the Miles-haters realize that with each passing 10-2 season, Miles isn't going anywhere, and they are grasping at straws.
i was bringing it up b/c of the apparent exit of Jimbo at the end of this season. also, i was at the game saturday. we changed formations in the last few minutes to get those two TD's. we were sitting on 7 points against ole miss in a home game on senior night before the switch.
if you want to call me a miles hater then fine. i don't hate him. but when you get outcoached by coach O, i start to worry. without the defense waking up and JR being brillaint (yet again) we lose that game. I hope JR never leaves, b/c without him, that 20-4 over the last two seasons looks a little different.
That's not a logical comparison. Jimbo was not our OC in the Hallman years. But he is now. My concern is that a team like the 2007 Tigers, who have a more than legitimate chance at going undefeated and winning another NC will stub their toe once and maybe twice because the offense sputters and another great defensive effort will be wasted. Am I concerned about Pellini? No.
