Auburn Scoring Pct

[StatTiger 3,188]

I'm always searching for the "magical" stat that points to a sure thing when it comes to Auburn football.

Since the SEC expanded to 12 teams in 1992, Auburn's offense has scored on 33.0% of it's offensive possessions. I broke down each season, comparing AU's record when scoring on at least 33% of it's offensive possessions.

Over the past 17 seasons, Auburn has averaged 5.8 games per season, where they scored at least 33% of the time on offense (FG's and TD's).

* Auburn is 94-5-1 from 1992-2008, when they reach the 33% mark.

* 56-2-0 under Tommy Tuberville

Of all the stats to focus on, I always look at those regarding scoring or scoring allowed. Yardage is nice but the true "value" of a team comes down to how often you score and how often you prevent the opponent from scoring.
