Because the goal is to reach the average in each category, I rate 50% as a passing grade. Damn if they only had done that at Auburn bird could have gotten accepted.

That fact that more and more schools are willing to pass on first down probably affects that number. JMO but a predominantly ground oriented team might have a hard time maintaining an average like that. Saw that AU passed on first down 42% of the time on Saturday which is why the big range of yardage for 2nd down plays. Pass completion rate of 60+ % is likely to skew the average upward.

Probably because that counts Gus' time as OC and the 2013 Season where they had a lot of 2nd and 1's. .....just kidding.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
