Your “data” is bullshite because it doesn’t factor in context. State was playing prevent the entire 4th quarter because they were ahead by 17 on the road. Allowing USCe to go on a couple of long drives that were clock eaters skews your data because State was dictating what their offense was doing

Go check what the score was midway through the 2Q in the Bama-USC game.

Bama was basically clock killing the entire 3Q until Carolina had two successful drives and then Bama scored twice to remind them they were dead.

You’re just disregarding data points because you don’t like the conclusion.

Bama has nearly every advanced metric in their favor and was clearly more dominant against their common opponent.

It’ll all be settled on the field tomorrow.

I’m waiting for my next purchase until they figure it out and I’m not at all convinced they have yet.
Gus at that time was attempting to run an SEC offense without recruiting any OL players for a couple years running.

Whatever had happened behind the scenes his time was done.

The Harsin hire is a reflection of the state of the Auburn AD and booster situation at that time not being good, but it doesn’t excuse whatever had happened with the “Gus Bus” by that point.

It kind of felt like he was trying to prove to everyone he didn’t need a mobile QB to make his offense work so he started bringing in drop back QBs while the OL and physicality dropped off and the offense became non-functional.

Are you at all concerned that your offense is predicated so heavily on explosive plays?

I saw a stat that yall had 20 so far through four games, but the flip side of that is sometimes the offense has failed to sustain drives when the big plays haven’t been there.

The scenario you just outlined means you had 13 yards total offense in a quarter and a half against a defense that isn’t elite by any means.

The flip side of that is that Bama has been horrible about allowing huge plays and extremely stingy particularly in the RZ because the zone becomes much harder to deal with in a short field.

I expect Bama to sit back in a zone and force Taylor to hit short stuff to show that you can grind out drives. Part of that is I think they see a scenario where the Bama pass rush becomes a problem for your OL to cause enough negative plays to kill a couple drives.

If the pass rush can’t impact Taylor I expect him to put up 350+.

That’s the beauty of it for these low IQ ambitious types though: they get to win at whatever position they’re set in because the system up there is rigged in their favor.

So they get to feel intelligent, get elevated to a role they would’ve never qualified for otherwise and make piles of money… they just have to do what they’re told or they end up on corruption charges like the last mayor of NYC did when he went rogue.

Or they could put them down like cattle for free and be 100% effective.

Or double tap them in the head for $2 worth of ammo.

The irony of this statement from a team that was twice crowned a NC caliber team for beating Clemson is wild.

And then you make fun of Florida for beating a team that beat you because their defense per your unadjusted stats is 120 nationally?

This post is prime rant start to finish.

This is now no longer about facts, it’s political and when the blue machine is against you up there you are cooked.

Everything about your post

You seem quite angry about data being presented.

I’d be upset about data too if I were an Arkansas fan.

Is Bama favored? Yes.
Do the stats support that? Yes.
Will it be the best team Bama has played YTD? Yes.
Could MSU win? Also yes.
Would anyone trade MSUs roster for Bamas? No.

It's just the way our defense operates. It's hard for me to adjust to being a fan to be honest. It feels so bad in games. But we try to create negative plays and end drives with them.

It’s just downstream of playing zone defense and giving up yards until we get a turnover or sack. Otherwise they hit the red zone and their offense doesn’t usually doesn’t function as well with shorter fields to shrink the zone spacing.

And that RZ efficiency has always been a concern with the veer that Heupel/Lebby/Golesh all run when playing high end defenses.

MSU has the QB to run it perfectly though so I expect them to put up lots of yards, the game will probably be decided on whether they can protect him from the Bama pass rush and convert in the RZ.

if comparing the two, it's more like the gumps haven't seen any defense, but this is secrant where very few know ball.

Those aren’t adjusted numbers.

With only four games on the books when you allow 50 to Bama it’s gonna mess up your defensive statistics pretty badly.

Bama vs USCe: 489 yards for / 419 allowed, 49-18
MSU vs USCe: 393 yards for, 431 allowed, 41-34

You were outgained by 40 yards when Bama outgained them by 70 despite shutting it down in the 3Q.

You won by 7, Bama throttled them by 31 and the game was over before halftime.

Yall are one of the best offenses in CFB this year but let’s not act like we don’t already have a direct data point to compare the two teams against.

The rain could be a major wildcard though if it limits the vertical passing game for both teams.

Weird. She looks like she was ordered out of a ZTA catalogue from when I was at Bama.

They all pretty much looked like that, don’t think many of them were NHS not that anyone was too worried about it at the time, but you’d pretty much have to be in order to get into UF these days.

What could be the possible benefit of aerosolizing one of the deadliest viruses in the world if not trying to kill as many people as possible?

Exactly this.

While I disagree with him unequivocally on the entire approach he took to Covid and vaccines I could to a small degree understand how someone could potentially think they were serving the greater good by lying and pushing what he did.

What possible greater good could there be for weaponizing and creating an aerosol version of Ebola?

There’s no valid explanation for that and it speaks to his intent on other things he’s done.

Had a ND guy in a luxury box I was in at that game ask me if we had indoor plumbing or not.

I then proceeded to watch him drink himself to blackout by the third quarter and couldn’t walk out under his own power when his group left.

The walk to the car was insane. A few of them had piled up their trash and chairs and used their charcoal grill coals to light it on fire so they didn’t have to drive home with it, felt like a mad max dystopian sporting event.
