They won the conference title due to luck and special teams.

They needed a Hail Mary to beat a completely depleted UGA team

They needed a 107 yard return to beat Alabama.

When we needed a stop on defense against UGA, we couldn't do it. We also dropped a punt.

When we needed a stop on 3rd and long vs. Ole Miss, we couldn't do it.


Well I won't dispute that their run last year was the luckiest I've ever witnessed (run as in the entire season, not the FG return). But to argue that the team we fielded last year shouldn't have come away with more than 3rd in the West and a trip to the whogivesafrick bowl against Iowa is asinine.

I'm not arguing that. I'm arguing that our offense was pretty damn great last year. Our D let us down in some big situations vs. UGA and Ole Miss

Also, I really think yall should look at better stats than total yards. As we know in the SEC, all schedules aren't created equal and different teams run their offenses at different paces.

quote:

The Fremeau Efficiency Index (FEI) considers each of the nearly 20,000 possessions every season in major college football. All drives are filtered to eliminate first-half clock-kills and end-of-game garbage drives and scores. A scoring rate analysis of the remaining possessions then determines the baseline possession efficiency expectations against which each team is measured. A team is rewarded for playing well against good teams, win or lose, and is punished more severely for playing poorly against bad teams than it is rewarded for playing well against bad teams.
