Orgeron fabricating scrimmage stats?

Cue the X-Files music...
Is it possible that Orgeron makes up scrimmage statistics to throw off our opponent? Similar to how coaches can downplay or embellish injury reports. I really am not concerned with the lack-luster stats in a controlled scrimmage, but wonder if maybe he deludes reality a little bit in order to make us look a little weaker offensively. It's no secret that our defense will be our strength- so saying they've been dominant isn't giving anything away. Just a question that has crossed my mind and am interested to see what others think.

This is what all the O Pumpers are praying.

Scrimmages are situational. The only people who care about stats are some fans. Opposing coaches don't give a rip about our scrimmage stats.

Are you serious Clark?

So you think Mark Richt is reading our offensive scrimmage stats and saying, "hey guys look at these lousy stats! We're giving you the week off, see ya game week!"

God, I hope not. If he did, I'd hope that he'd be smart enough to say Burrow was 29 of 30 with 20+ yds on every pass, and threw one away in a simulated 'stop the clock' moment.
You want your opponent worried about you at this point. They can't see the plays.

Fun fact: all scrimmage stats are fabricated
Posted on 8/20/18 at 9:32 am to WhoDatTiger
That’s exactly what he’s doing.. He has no reason to give us the real stats.. besides it would be crazy for him to hype our offense up to the media and when we come out against Miami we look bad.. This is chess not checkers

As a conspiracy theorist myself, this is laughable.
Thanks for the morning laugh!

Seriously?!
Listen, anyone that has ever been a part of a scrimmage knows exactly how they are run. Not only is it controlled, but defenses know all of the audible calls , and all of the signals. It's meant to be hard on the offense. ESPECIALLY, a "work in progress" offense.
Although I think our defense is ELITE, I'm still concerned about what will happen when they don't know what's being run at them. We'll find out soon!!
I, personally, don't give a damn about these numbers.

Nah. Every insider that’s close to the program on 247 analysts & posters included have said they are close. But they aren’t set in stone. I believe He’s holding back a bit on Burrow who had his normal go to targets out and probably is at 65-70% if wr’s didn’t struggle with drops. He has been very efficient throwing the rock.

I'm pretty sure the vast majority of our opponents will be very well coached so trying to trick them wouldn't work anyway. If our offense is as weak as it appears then this will be a very long year. I don't care how good our D is, they will need rest and not need to deal with constant 3 and outs from our O.

Actually he’s been quite open about such things compared to Les Miles

You think our offense is secretly lighting it up in scrimmages and O is trying to hide it? Wow. You realize if that was the case O would be letting everyone know, right? His offense has to be better than last year to show that he was right to fire Canada. If his offense is worse without Canada, O will get canned

I must say, that is one extremely stupid theory.

I believe the better conspiracy theory would be orgeron makes up the stats to make it look like he's doing something with the offense.

“makes up scrimmage statistics”
Haven’t you heard, practice stats or situational stats don’t matter. How the passing game performs in practice has no bearing on how it will perform against Miami.
Makes you wonder what coaches use to determine who starts and who doesn’t.
