JBiGGiE 2,488 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Very close margins. Shows how close 2013 could have turned mediocre and 2014/2015 could've been spectacular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AURex 1,938 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Long numerical story short -- if you do better than the other team, you win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REInvestingTiger 2 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Long numerical story short -- if you do better than the other team, you win. That's what I got out of those stats. I would wager that any football team matching those stats would statistically tend to win, or lose. That is actually one of my problems with needing a dynamic QB to make CGM's offense potent. Wouldn't the chances of any offense being successful increase with a dynamic QB? In short, if you outperform others, then you win... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionheartkc 6,150 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 The thing I got from this is that we outperformed our opponents in wins and losses. When we lose, we average more yards and highers scores than the opponents we beat, and when we win, we average more yards and higher scores than the opponents who beat us. That tells me that, even with last years mess, we are still a force to be reckoned with. Of course, you could also surmise that just by looking at how many games we lose by less than 2 scores.

keesler 5,912 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Perhaps we could use some flexibility in this offense, because dynamic QB's aren't easy to come by. In this league, you better the willing and able to adjust. I'm not sure I saw a dynamic QB in the SEC last season, but that didn't stop the SEC from winning the top prize in January.

LKEEL75 2,566 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Could someone show me the stats of W vs L when we outscore the opponent? JUST KIDDING!! Interesting stats. It really does just go to show how slim the margin can be between a great season and a "rebuilding" season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is my point keesler. There are some colleges that are able to perform well enough with a mediocre QB. Unfortunately, AU needs a dynamic dual threat in order to make our offense run. CGM performed okay with Chris Todd and the Arky State QB...dunno what has happened since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ummm, the scores for the last few years don't show AU as that big of a force imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet very few would feel confident that they could guarantee a win in a second go around. The truth is, Auburn competes, no matter how beat up we are, we show up and give them a game.
