I’m not sure that Saben didn’t think losing to AU and not having to face uga till the final game wasn’t a good deal. Remember he plays for rings not won loss records. Plus the fans in AU made it very hard for them. We don’t get that luxury this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alabama gave us the game so they didn’t have to play Georgia twice??? Seriously!! And bama doesn’t care about wins or loses??? Hopefully this was a joke and I took it wrong.

The proof is in most games the scripted plays work very well and, like Saturday, we drive down and score with ease. After the first possession is the problem, in fact, we usually fail to score, like Saturday, in the 3rd Qtr and the opponent has the opportunity to either close the gap or take the lead (see this year’s LSU game). Like other Gus trends, it is very disturbing. but there is no plan after the scripted plays and the opponent figures it out quickly and adjusts.

wcware 1,365 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 I can’t even reply in these threads anymore. I just read with my mouth open. We are so bad and Auburn is a circus. We have to fire him. Does anyone think Gus might be intentionally sabotaging his OC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having observed Gus on multiple occasions seeming to go off at somebody on the Headset, I would not be at all surprised to find out that Gus discovered that Chip was deviating from the Divine Call he wanted and caused that situation to happen! It would be in keeping with his "I Am the Most Wonderful Play Calling Head Coach in the World" mentality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who needs the playoffs when you can beat your two biggest rivals! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger 8,826 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 How can Gus even want to attach his name to such predictability? He's literally stuck on doing this type of easy to defend BS. I can't imagine how pissed Lindsey is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not know other than we had different players playing. I'm not smart enough to attribute to head coaching. He's playing for the Detriot Lions. And we had an Oline.

Of course I’m sure you are pretty experienced at football. Yea just like an NFL team that rest it’s players when the game doesn’t matter. I didn’t say he threw the game but probably didn’t go full bore. Wonder why UGA came back and cleaned our plow in the SEC game ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously... Because when the Gus offense works it’s hard to stop. When it doesn’t you get this year. i think this is probably correct. but it is also predicated on a STRONG oline. it seems like we have not recruited or not landed big time oline players in 2-3 cycles. even if you have great skill players (which i think we have) it doesn't matter because the qb can't stay up right. Gus just can't keep it all together. to many things he has to keep up with. in other words, he is in over his head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casatiger 513 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Watch out what you ask for. Gus might dust off the Clemson game plan of a couple years ago. Now that was different!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUsince72 11,084 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Not to worry y'all!!! Just saw the opening few lines of Gus' press conference and I now feel SUPER confident. He said there will be "some tweaks" but Stidham is still the starter. Phew, I was worried he might actually change something but I feel better knowing it's just some tweaks coming...

AUTigerTime 186 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Why doesn't a journalist ask questions regarding tendencies and provide specific numbers like this?

The real question is why don't they do something about it? He doesn't know how to adapt. In 2009 we put up 432 yards per game on offense, good for second best in the SEC. This year we're at 376 yards per game, so it's down about 50 yards, not terrible, but a little lower than 2009. The biggest difference is other teams have adapted over the years and changed their offense. Our 2009 offense that ranked second with 432 yards per game would rank 6th now. Bottom line is other offenses have adapted, and Gus is not adapting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funniest part about it is there a lot of programs running updated and improved 2018 versions of his own damn offense while the man who wrote the book himself is struggling to figure out how to get first downs.
