WarEagle_57 0 Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 PASSING--- GP Effic Att-Cmp-Int Pct Yds TD Lng Avg/G --------------------------------------------------------------- Brodie Croyle 3 138.07 82-49-2 59.8 655 4 52 218. PASSING--- GP Effic Att-Cmp-Int Pct Yds TD Lng Avg/G -------------------------------------------------------------- Brandon Cox 3 146.37 81-50-4 61.7 715 5 39 238.3 Those probably won't line up very well, but you can probably still read it if you try hard enough. So far, the 2 QBs look almost identical through the first 3 games. Brandon Cox has a slightly higher completion percerntage, and efficiency. Croyle has thrown one more pass and completed one less. Cox has 2 more INTs, all 4 game in the first game. He has since completed 28 of 37 passes with 0 INTs, and 3 TDs. It should also be pointed out that Cox broke the Auburn record for most passing yards for a first time starting QB. He also thre for more yards in his first game, than the Senior Croyle has ever thrown for. With that being said, so far I don't think you can say one is ahead of the other. I'm excited to see what becomes of Cox by the year's end. He may be even more accurate than Campbell, and he led the nation in passing efficiency last year. But for now, I'd have to give a slight edge to If Brodie Croyle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BamaGrad03 0 Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 I think Croyle, so far, has proven to be one of the top 2 QBs in the SEC this season. Still to early to tell, but his leadership and ability to go through his progressions have proven spectacular. he had least 50 yards and 1 TD dropped on some amazing throws saturday.

bammanmr 0 Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 OK. So their argument that broadway brodie was better than campbell the last 2 preseasons was a joke as we found out. Now we find out that we should have been comparing brodie to our backup during that time. As a senior, he appears to measure up pretty evenly to our new sophomore starter.

API50 0 Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 In 3 games Cox is averaging 14 yards/throw and Croyle is averaging 13 yards/throw per passes completed. Lets see... a senior vs a sophmore with three games as a starter under his belt, I would say Cox is doing pretty doggone good. Brodie may have two things he is doing better and thats throwing the long ball and the ability to run. Like Al said, Cox would drown running through a car wash. I'm not sure I would call Brodie "Vanilla Vick", but he can scramble pretty good. Other than that, I wouldn't give a nickels difference between the two. By the end of the season, I really believe Cox will be one of the top QBs in the conference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarTim 3,457 Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Just for clarification: BC- Brandon Cox (starting qb for the defending SEC Champion Auburn Tigers) bc- skinny kid wearing a dark pink #12 jersey @ the smaller "school" in west al. p.s. With the so-caled "O-line" @ uat, the skinny kid in the #12 dark pink jersey had BETTER be able to "RUN". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan4Auburn 1,626 Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Didn't Brodie throw like 13 Ints as a Sophmore starter, and 5 Ints the previous year. Cox had a better TD vs Int ratio than Brodie as a backup, lets let the season play out before we start picking on Cox's poor picks. Its still very possible for him to have a better Soph year than Brodie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BamaGrad03 0 Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 You guys are kidding right? Everyone around the college football world is talking about Brodie's play this year. A blind monkey could see the difference in this years team and last years. The only difference being brodie...and a younger Oline. Now you wanna compare stats after 3 games? First of all, comparing passes per completion is a waste of time. Especially when your QB has 22 incompletions in the first game. But you wanna compare stats? OK. Brandon Cox against Ga Tech - 22/44 342 yards 4INTS and 2TDs Matt Baker (UNC) against Ga Tech - 18/39 (280) yards 3INTS 2TDs Against Ms St? BC - 12/18 202 yards 2TD 0Int Ken Topps (Murray St) 11/16 144 yards 1TD 0Int Wow, those are pretty close numbers. I guess its safe to say Brandon is as good as Matt Baker and Kenn Topps.

So it looks as if brodie is as good as those guys as well. Ever considered a career as a disc jockey bg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamaGrad03 0 Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 I guess I should have put it in sarcasm blocks. I think Brandon Cox is better than both of those QBs. But again, given the small window of statistical data used in this threads origination...i chose to use a similarly off base comparision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
API50 0 Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 BG, your reasoning must make these stats look pretty good. "bammer's first 3 opponents total offense (out of 117 Div 1 schools) MTSU - 110 So MS - 86 So Car - 92 (2nd worst in SEC, UK is the worst) SO Car rush defense is 104 (Ball St is 111). So Car rush offense is 114 (Ball St is 92). I have to ask, how big was the win over USC? Statistically, I could argue that AU's win over Ball State was bigger." You are right, these stats are as silly as yours concerning COX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
