The perception still out there is not good. I still feel like we should be passing more. The TAMU game was more like I expected coming in to the year. More, and on more downs, and to more parts of the field. A bunch of tunnel screens and deep balls on 3rd and long do not a good quarterback impress. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fewest number of pass attempts this year is 17 vs Miss St and in that game we had 267 yds passing. We've averaged around 25 pass attempts per game. For the year we have 2130 yds rushing and 2065 passing; pretty balanced. A QB like Bo has a chance to show his talents in this offense. Less about yard balance and more about play balance. Still very unbalanced 70/30? We are taking the top off and hitting big plays, but if those don’t connect we struggle. Lack of intermediate passing routes. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are taking the top off and hitting big plays, but if those don’t connect we struggle. Lack of intermediate passing routes. Play calling balance at AU can be distorted by things like that 96 yard drive in the TAMU game that was mostly on the ground....and why pass, if you can drive the ball and score at the end of the drive? The run/pass balance seems to depend on the overall game conditions. And, I notice that the two highest rated teams in the SEC do not depend on the passing game as the key to their offense. And guess you can't count how many times someone has stated on this site that Gus must have a DT quarterback.....and I'm thinking a real DT like Hurts for example who can really cause problems with the run and where the QB running is an major factor in the game plan. . At Georgia they just run ...and run....and pass every now and then. So....have been watching Nix a bit and wondering how he would fit at AU versus Joey G ?

au_bsci_04 407 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 AU will always be run heavy, but that can be 60/40. I don’t have an issue with that. I have an issue with our pass plays being all or nothing. JS is a great QB, don’t be afraid to let him throw across the middle. TAM burnt us twice for TDs on slants bc of the crossing pattern. It’s available, to us specifically, bc of our tendency to not exploit it. Nix is a better fit for us IMO, but JG is improving and has athleticism second to none. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GwillMac6 20,526 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 If gus does not get BO THAT is a fireable offense!!! Not the LSU second half!!! lol I will be sooooooooooo mad.

UGA's last 7 goes to the refs for that horrible 4th down spot that kept the drive alive. As for Bo there is still work to do here to continue making Bo & Pat feel better about things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUpreacherman22 3,841 Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Clemson and atm may be “factors”, (I get it, Bo and Pat are saying the right things), but from the little I know about the situation, and the fact that he keeps coming to AU every weekend, there is very little doubt he signs with anyone but AU. He’s been all AU since the day he was born. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
