Jerod Evans

Wasn't it Lashlee's decision to go after Franklin?

We did not have room after signing a Juco backup qb

Evans didn't enroll until summer. They wanted a guy who was gonna go through spring.

Or maybe Evans just wanted to go play Fuentes at VT?... not everything has to be a coaching frick up.

keep logic off this board kthx

With a competent QB, we statistically did.

We couldnt score TDs against defenses with a pulse and now you're suggesting we had the best offense in the SEC.
"Bowl-dozing" this thread with stupidity.

The offenses were really bad but young: at least three true freshman QBs ended up starting games this season plus Fitzgerald at Moo state.
Based on stats and actual results of the games, I'd say Bama and Ole Miss had better offenses than Auburn this season.
What is surprising is the defense of the middle tier SEC West teams. What the heck happened to that land shark defense?

Yes stats do lie. Our offensive performance against the contenders proves that our offense was crap. Anybody can look awesome against the teams that are forced into submission.
We scored:
0 TDs against Clemson: Lol
0 TDs against Bama- Roughly 125 total yards all game if not for JF3 anomaly pass
0 TDs against LSU- Lot of yards, no paydirt.
1 TD against Georgia- Lot of nothing.
2 TDs against TAM- Lot of completions and frustration. SW benched.

We scored a shite ton of points and picked up a lot of yardage against these shitty defenses:
Ole Miss- defense wasn't even in the top hundred at one point.
Arkansas- Pretty sure this was a junior high defense
Miss State- Offense quit after half time. Coaches would rather give carries to third string RB than to develop the second string QB.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I seem to recall Arkansas coming into our game playing well on defense.

I am not the one here that can not carry on a conversation without taking personal shots when people do not agree with me so I am not sure I am the one with hormone problems.

Your problem is, you want it both ways. You want to praise Whites play in games that we won regardless if his play warrants it then swing around and blame everyone else (coaches, play calling, injuries, offense line) when we lost games.

I wont carry on this conversation with you. I think the point has been made 1000 times. We could not make more than one TD per game against any defense that was decent. We ran up scores against teams that either sucked or we had down big time. This offense was horrendous against LSU, Clemson, UGA, Bama, Texas AM and Vandy. Im sorry man. No stat you can give me will convince me that this was anything close to the "Best offense in the SEC". Or best offense anywhere. It was bad. I dont care how many yards we racked up total or how bad the other SEC teams were. It was a 8-4 offense and it was one second from a 7-5 offense. It lived on the back of what was the best defensive performance we have had in a long time as well as a league that was total shite this year

Even with all those things helping it, we still barely won 8 games. 5 of those 8 teams we beat were either OOC teams or teams that didnt even have a .500 record.

It was shite man. Forget those big stats and look at it for what it produced

we were fortunate to have our strengths( the running game) going toe to toe with the opponent's weaknesses which was stopping the run.

Precisely. And it seemed like the coaching staff didn't know how to handle not being productive on the ground. If we didn't get 3+ yards on the first down run up the middle, Gus and Rhett panicked and switched QB's/deployed the whirly bird/ran a middle school hard-wired receiver route a DC with half a brain could spot.
