He could certainly pair well with Smoke to create a dominant DB group All we know for now is that's where his career is beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUght2win 6,836 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 4 hours ago, AuburnNTexas said: Auburn turnover margin last year was .7 Florida was also .7 and LSU and Vanderbilt .8 that was the four top teams in the SEC https://www.teamrankings.com/college-football/stat/turnover-margin-per-game Like most statistics there is more to it. What part of the field was the turnover at did it lead yo points for your team or if you turned it over did it lead to points for other team. Was turnover at a crucial time in game that had a direct impact on the game. D Turnover margin is a deceiving stat. That's how many turnovers you gain vs. giveaway. Gus has been very conservative on offense the last few years, leading to us giving away very few turnovers. The stat to look at is average number of turnovers forced per game. Auburn was 51st last year, 70th in 2017, and 90th in 2016. However, if we keep jumping up 20 spots as we are doing then I will be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gr82b4au 5,568 Posted September 9, 2019 Author Share Posted September 9, 2019 So far so good. I think we are #2 in the nation right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLoofus 35,182 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 If the offense doesn't get itself together, the defense is eventually going to wear down. Just like last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger 8,823 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Not trying to be that guy but if we played a competent passing QB this past weekend I think our D would've looked significantly worse. He had open guys time and time again he just couldn't hit them. I'm not feeling as comfortable as I'd like to feel with the strong point of our team. I get it that we only gave up 6 points. That part is fantastic, but we wouldn't have beaten a conference team on Saturday night IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike the early part of last season where I felt like the Defense at least kept up their end of the deal through some tough times, my confidence is shaken on that side of the ball too. Add ST and there's a trifecta of shakiness. I'm not sure we can really hang our hats anywhere atm.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is shaping up to be an ugly season regardless of what our record and ranking indicate right now. I can see it now, a close game where both the D and O are playing well enough to keep the win within striking distance but a special teams coverage mishap sets the whole effort on fire.
