StatTiger 3,188 Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Last season Auburn's offense generated only 7 TD plays beyond 20-yards for the entire season. The 2016 Auburn offense has equaled this total through five games. Last season Auburn's offense had six plays of 30-yards or more through 5 games into the season. This season they have 13. Last season through 5 games, the Auburn offense totaled 24 impact plays or plays of 15-yards or more. This season Auburn has 44 through 5 games. Last season through 5 games, Auburn averaged 5.31 yards per offensive snap. This season it has increased to 6.05 yards per play. Last season through 5 games, Auburn averaged 343.8 yards per game compared to 488.6 yards this season. No doubt the offense is still a work in progress but they are clearly in better shape this season through 5 games compared to 2015. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aujeff11 6,243 Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 (edited) True. Last year in week 4 we had to swap QBs. We are at least not doing that bad in this stretch. Not sure how much better we will be this season though. We are obviously better than we were week one, but how much? Really cannot tell if we still cannot score. I think you should change the meaning of "impact" plays to touchdowns since our current impact plays are not making an "impact" on the scoreboard. Kidding...

Dan-0 479 Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Ideally, our offense finds their identity in the Spring, not midway through the season, as has been the case the last couple of seasons. But, I agree, it seems like we are starting to gel and the MSU game will be the first big test. We have a lot of young players who are starting to step up and show what they can do and lead the team and that is an encouraging sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FASTCOMPANY 394 Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Even though MSU is struggling, I still think this game will tell if we've really turned the corner. DM hates Auburn, and will throw caution to the wind, to get the W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warhogone 103 Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 I am getting the feeling that we are going to be in for an exciting ride the rest of the season. War Eagle and let's cram some cowbells where the Sun don't shine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps it wou l d have if the man being paid to call plays didn't wait 3 seasons and 3 games to get to do his job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's on Gus, not Rhett. If you hire someone to do a job, you let them do the job or you find someone else to do the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
