  1. Traveling for a living, I think they will be fine till the sun sets. There bio clock will kick in hard even with a 2 hour difference and they will have to be ready to override it or the second half could get ugly. They are going to be playing ball till 1am there time. 1am is the start of what sleep scientists call Window of Circadian Low. It is no joke and the hardest time to stay awake biologically. 
     

    I wish these gentlemen luck. War Eagle!

    Still waiting on the orange helmets. Gotta give the QB something to target in all that white, as you know... ;)

    that has been a legit concern of mine, with our receiver running in front of a white background in white uni’s.

    Shivers, I just don't know. I don't think he had very many good opportunities.

     

    The best opportunity I saw for Shivers, Tega got pushed back and put a leg in front of Worm at the last second tripping him up. Happened midway thru the 1st. He had a wide open lane and would have gashed them hard.

    I was gonna say Shivers might be shorter but he certainly isn't smaller. Worm is jacked! You beat me to it, E.

    My dad is 5'6". I past him in height in 8th grade. He used to tell me, "you can't help being short, but you can help being small". I always liked that.

    I had a neighbor who I used to tease for being short and his best response was “I am taller than you when I am standing on your chest.”  Worm looks like the kind of beast who could make that a reality if he wanted.

    ·        The 2018 Music City Bowl marked the 47th time Auburn passed for at least 300-yards from 1961-2018. Auburn's 16.4 yards per pass attempt was the second-best average per pass attempt among the 47 three-hundred yard passing games.

     

     

     

    ·        Jarrett Stidham finished his Auburn career with 5934 yards passing, and 36 touchdown passes. He accounted for 42 career touchdowns, throwing only 11 interceptions from 739 pass attempts. Auburn was 16-0 when Stidham had a pass rating of 130 or better and 2-9 when he did not. He was involved in 139 impact plays during his career. In comparison, Nick Marshall had 143 during his two seasons as the starter.

     

     

     

    ·        The 2018 Auburn offense finished No. 14 among the last 32 Auburn offenses (1987-2018) with a play of 30-yards every 35.8 snaps. The Auburn defense finished No. 23 among the last 27 Auburn defenses, allowing a big play every 32.0 plays.

     

     

     

    ·        The 2018 Auburn offense scored in 76.9 percent of their quarters played, dropping from the 85.7 percent in 2017. The Auburn defense blanked the opponent in 28.8 percent of the quarters defended, a drop from the 37.5 percent during 2017. Auburn's offense ranked No. 16 among the last 38 Auburn offenses in the fewest quarters held scoreless.

     

     

     

    ·        The 2018 Auburn offense finished No. 10 among the last 27 Auburn offenses (1992-2018) with an impact play every 8.5 snaps. The 2017 Auburn offense was No. 15, which is an indicator the 2019 Auburn offense will have the talent to work with next season on offense.

     

     

     

    ·        Auburn created a short field (Inside the opponent's side of the field) 18.7 percent this season. This was fifth best among the last 26 Auburn teams (1993-2018). This is huge when you consider Auburn scores on 31 percent of their possessions on their side of the field, compared to the 65 percent when beginning a drive on the opposition's side of the field. This trend needs to continue moving forward.

     

     

     

    ·        Based on an efficiency formula based on yards per game, yards per play, TD ratio, 3rd down percentage, first down production and strength of schedule, the 2018 Auburn offense ranks No. 12 among the last 27 Auburn offenses (1992-2018). Six of the top-10 Auburn offenses have occurred under Gus Malzahn.

     

     

     

    ·        The 2018 Auburn offense ranks No. 33 among the last 49 Auburn offenses (1970-2018), scoring an offensive touchdown outside the red zone, 28.3 percent of the time. The 2017 Auburn offense was No. 16, making 2018 a huge drop off from the season before. Auburn's lack of big-play ability hurt Auburn's scoring production.

     

     

     

    ·        The 2018 Auburn pass offense ranks No. 9 among the last 33 Auburn offenses (1986-2018) in pass-efficiency.

     

     

     

    ·        The 2018 Auburn running game ranked No. 18 among the last 33 Auburn offenses (1986-2018) based on yards per game, yards per rush and TD ratio. Malzahn's offenses have five of the top-7 slots.

     

     

     

    ·        For the fourth time in six seasons, Auburn was penalized less than the opponent. Before Malzahn taking over as head coach, Auburn was penalized more than the opponent during six of seven seasons.

     

     

     

    ·        Auburn's 2018 Auburn offense ranks No. 16 among the last 27 Auburn offenses (1992-2018), averaging 30.5 yards per possession. The Auburn defense finished at No. 17, allowing 27.3 yards per possession.

     

     

     

    ·        Auburn averaged 2.4 points per possession this season, finishing No. 12 among the last 27 Auburn offenses (1992-2018).

     

     

     

    ·        38.0 percent of Auburn's possessions netted at least 40-yards this season. This was 11th among the last 27 Auburn offenses (1992-2018).

     

     

     

    ·        During conference play, Auburn scored TD's on 21.2 percent of their possessions, No. 14 among the last 27 Auburn offenses (1992-2018). The Auburn defense ranked No. 15, allowing conference opponents to score touchdowns, 19.2 percent of the time.

     

     

     

    ·        Auburn's opponent averaged 3.1 points per an Auburn turnover. This was the second worst point value the past 27 seasons by an Auburn team.

     

     

     

    ·        Auburn's offense turned the ball over once every 74.5 snaps, the best ratio by an Auburn offense during the past 36 seasons. This has been a trademark of a Malzahn offense, which has seven of Auburn's top-8 ratios from 1983-2018.

     

     

     

    ·        Last season Auburn lost 66.7 percent of their fumbles. This season the Tigers improved their "lost fumbles percentage" to 30.8 percent. It was the second lowest percentage by an Auburn team the past 29 seasons (1990-2018).

     

     

     

    ·        Auburn's TD to turnover ratio this season was 3.54, third best among the last 36 seasons (1983-2018). Malzahn's offense finished in top-7, six times.

     

     

     

    ·        45.6 percent of Auburn's offensive snaps this season was part of a scoring drive. This year's offense finished No. 13 among the last 29 Auburn offenses (1990-2018). The 2018 Auburn defense finished No. 20 among the last 29 Auburn defenses at 38.4 percent. The 2017 Auburn defense was No. 6.

     

     

     

    War Eagle!

    The most telling statistic of a season that I have ever seen you produce was the 20-20/10-30 rule.  I am not shocked at the results for 2018, because I felt like we had experienced starters everywhere but the O-Line.  I believe we brought a cumulative of 20 starts combined into the season on the O-Line, where as the O-Line in 2013 was over 100 and 2010 was over 150, if I remember correctly.  I wonder how this next year with so many meaningful starters returning may fair.  Would you be able to show us how the start to 2018 faired as a team as well as the O-Line and then based on current projected roster how 2019 is shaping up.  I believe Big Bird has enjoyed this stat as well.  TIA.

  6. For those who want to see a lot of 2019 and 2020 prospects on the field at the same time in the ATL area this fall. Grayson plays at Marietta Sept. 7. As good as Grayson’s 2019 class may be, Marietta’s 2020 class may be better with 6-4 stars and 1-5 stars on 247. It should be a really fun game to watch. I’m looking forward to seeing Pappoe, Clark and Morris go up against Harrison Bailey and Co.

    Just curious: I know your DLine is scary. Are they better than Bama's last year? I honestly don't know. Bama was the best we faced last year and I think our offense as a whole and particularly our OLine will be better than last year. 

    Clemson definitely has the potential to have a better line than last year. When comparing our DLine to bamas versus an OLine that had 14 games to one that is partially starting over and building chemistry in a hostile environment. I see the variables assisting the DLine more, when communication will inevitably break down.

  8. We will look back on this class and realize everything started looking up when we got commits from a kicker and snapper ...

    I know you're joking, but things really did take an upturn with the commitments of Moultry and Troxell. The kicker and snapper are excellent additions as well.

    Anyone who complains about recruiting a good kicker and snapper were not at either the 2001 or 2006 Florida games or both. Damon Duvall may have been a bit of a punk but he was 1st Team all American in 2001 for a reason.
