I supply stats for top offenses all the time but y'all ignore it because of passing yard records and completion percentage. I can't help it if you don't understand total yardage and that passing was our only offense the last 3 years. Sounds like you don't understand the facts. Yes will has a ton of yards. But all we did was pass. We still weren't in the top 25 total yards per game or points per game. Even with record setting passing yards for msu.
Barbays team last year was better statistically speaking at app state than leach with MSU last year. With less latent they beat power 5 teams and went toe to toe with others.
Well how did Leach win 9 last year ? We replace national champion Georgia with a very mediocre South Carolina , so 10 certainly looks attainable.
Oh, so you are comparing our stats when we play in the SEC with those that play in lesser leagues? When one of the big stat teams play an SEC team they don't put up glaring numbers unless they are P5 like us. Duh, did we really pass a lot over the last 3 years??? *** Yeah, you got me and the rest on here that slept through the last three years where we continued to improve our record. Look, we know you hated the Leach passing ball control offense. You've beat that horse to death and walked him dry. We don't play that offense anymore so cheer up. In fact, we'll probably run the ball ad nauseum so you and others that hated the air raid can bask in the joy of pro style offense and you only have to live with one more year of your nemesis Rogers.
Well first off, he won 8 in the regular season, in a year with most of our swing games at home. Strictly talent wise, we lost our best WR in the portal, we lost our best DB as a first round NFL draft pick, lost our best DT as a 4th round draft pick, and lost a really good RB in the portal as well. We arguably may have replaced DJ with Pittman, but those other 3 guys were not replaced with equal talent.
17 a rating, especially preseason. They never rate our guys that highly. You'd think that ya'll would be used to this after being a fan of us for this long.
This means nothing without context. You're comparing overall stats that included games vs SEC against games vs SELA and an Arizona defense not yet established as a good one.
Its all we've got so far, you know, kind of like bashing the staff already after only 2 games when you have to assume they aren't showing anywhere near the entire offense
With a straight face you’re going to compare the defenses on *checks notes* App State’s schedule against ours. Cool story bro.
Yeh more of taking sacks on third down and not finding receiver across the middle down field or it getting batted down. Hmm lesser leagues like when teams like Tennessee UGA Ole Miss Ohio State Florida State Ark OU LSU ok state Louisville Clemson Florida Wake Utah UCF UCLA Duke North Carolina Memphis Kansas Oregon Oregon State South Carolina Washington Penn State. All those offenses were higher performers than ours last year. I threw in a bunch of power 5 teams and i threw in a bunch of non top 10 recruiters. There are a bunch of modified air raid teams I didn't add that use mobile qbs and zone read a lot that also put up big numbers. Sec versus power 5 is not as good as it used to be. SEC isn't dominating every power 5 school. Even uga played a close high scoring game in the playoff. Teams were putting up numbers on bama except us.
Arizona was allowed to hold without limit after the Pac-12 refs saw us beginning to humiliate them on the LOS early. Look back at all of their big plays and I bet you'll find over 90% of them included obvious holding by their linemen. Makes getting open and delivering an accurate pass a helluva lot easier.
daaaaaaaaanngggg, @patdog GOAT went back to the Obama years for this smack.
Okay I guess we will find out if his points per game snd yards per game ends up better or worse in the SEC. I do know that we didn't sniff the top 30 in offense in total yards or points per game running the highly touted pure air raid and passing 70 percent of the game. All we did was get a bunch of yards passing.
When you don't yet have enough data to make a reasonable assessment, it is foolish to make one that lacks reason. Much better to wait until you do have enough to be taken seriously.
I hope. I'm hosting a watch party and I'll be the only one in maroon and white. At least my LSU friends aren't like the idiots who trolled this site over the summer.
We were 5th in the SEC in scoring offense and 8th in scoring defense. Only UT, Alabama, Georgia and OM were better. We beat Arky and OM and should have beaten LSU. UGA and Alabama beat us. When you consider our weakness kicking field goals which would have improved our scoring offense we were pretty good last year. I don't see the horrible 9-4 team you keeping complaining about. Our defense gave up a lot of points but our offense overcame them in most games. I enjoy your negative rants so keep it coming!
Why are you so eat up with yards per game? Isn't scoring offense more important? After all, the team with the most points wins. Ole Miss was great at yards per game but look how they did last year. Points win games not yards.
Our defense bailed our slow offense out of many games the last 3 years. We were also better in games that we were more balanced and ran the ball more than usual. The key is balance. Mullen ran it too much. Leach threw it too much. Moorhead didn't know what he was doing. Barbay ran it too much last game. Not a rant, just staring facts and backed up by stats. I can post the link for you or screen shots if that will help you.
Yes, and we still didn't make the top half of the sec or top 30 in points per game which I also posted. Your reading comprehension must suck. Must not teach that on that ranch. Must not teach math or stats either. That or maybe you ate too much ranch and it's gone to your head.
Yeah, you are so right Tro! Our 9-4 offense was terrible since they were only 5th in SEC scoring. They should have been 1st with Leach at the helm! ****
Yeah no
Should be. Same players basically. A cornerback,3 safeties a linebacker and one DL. I figure Dillon and the WR we lost are a wash. That linebacker was a beast tho. And we all know about that great corner. Can we overcome that ?
What an idiot. Deon doesn't run leach's offense though. Nobody runs the pure air aid. Have you even watched colorado or Jackson state last season. They play with a mobile qb. They run and pass. That's what I've been trying to say about our offense you idiot. Thanks for proving my point.
The most talented 4-5 players from last year’s team are all gone. Forbes, Young, RaRa were 3 of them. We replaced them with basically no one. Lose all the top end talent and throw in a tougher schedule and a new offense, repeating 8 wins in the regular season should be the ceiling (as it is just about every year), and definitely not the most likely result.
Please explain how our schedule is tougher when we dropped the two-time defending national champions off of it.
