You mean like the one that set SEC records last year???


why do you idiots keep saying this? WE FINISHED 7TH OUT OF 14 SEC TEAMS IN TOTAL OFFENSE LST SEASON. The only stat we were good in was 3rd down efficiency which was due to our run run pass offense constantly put us in 3rd down situations and we had the talent to bail us out on them. Otehr than that we sucked in every single offense category especially the two most important ones: scoring offense and total offense. We also sucked in time of possession which is what they like to claim is a strength and the reason we run our run run pass offense. WE were also not good at protecting the football, one of the worse in turnover margin, another reason it is stated we run the run run pass scheme.

but we also had 5893 total yards of offense
Thats a lot, and most years it would be much better than 7th.
Last year we had three team almost have 7000 yards of offense, it was a particularly good year for offense in the SEC.

1. efficiency doesn't have anything to do with how many third downs you were in.
2. we actually were 114th in the country in third down attempts, tied with A&M for third in the SEC. Not that that matters

114th in attempts
14th in conversions.

#1 in third down conversion (in the country)
#23 in scoring in the country

we actually only gave the ball away 1.3 times per game, which is 21st in the nation. We were 79th in take aways. So we took care of the ball, but didn't force turnovers.

You just aren't looking at these stats with any kind of objectivity. We ran an extremely balanced offense. And out stats also reflect that we were without Hill for 1.5 games, and without Mett for 1 game. When we are talking about the difference between 5th place and 4th place being 400 yards, playing a QB that threw for 82 yards, vs a QB that was averaging 256 is going to hurt your numbers. Also not starting a RB that averaged 122 yards a game for almost all of 2 games is going to hurt your numbers, but in the games where we had both we were an exceptional offense.

You can't look back at total numbers from las year, and judge the offense in a bubble.
