UNDER, but close, I'll guess 22 ppg vs SEC and Louisville.

Hopefully the 55, 41, and 38 games are behind us.

Under as the season percentage but I'll believe it when I see it against good offense.

Under. I'm hoping for better effort as a unit. I'd love for the Defensive guys to look like they enjoying playing again.

Just for a FYI, here are the scoring defenses against P5/BCSAQ since an Auburn defense held them to less than 24 ppg & their SEC rank

2014: 31.0 (10th)
2013: 29.5 (9th)
2012: 33.1 (12th)
2011: 30.8 (11th)
2010: 25.8 (6th)
2009: 28.4 (11th)
2008: 20.3 (5th)

Average from 2014-2009
29.8 ppg - 10th in the SEC


That is depressing.

Same here. I feel like getting it down to 25 ppg would make a marked improvement.

Over. We will let Ole Miss put up big numbers along with A&M which will put us at the 25-26 mark

Over. The offensive players are elite, but the defensive players are (for the most part) average.

Close, but over.

We could hold 4 opponents to around 20 and get in one shootout and give up 42 and it's over the 24 avg.

Over. I think that if we are even sniffing 24PPG against power 5 schools, we are playoff bound.

Screw the old stats. Last time a defensive coordinator looked like this?

Over


And it won't be close


We thought it would be much better when we hired Vangorder

We thought it would be better when we hired Johnson

It won't be elite with Champ

We don't have the horses at key positions on defense and our offense style will not allow for good defensive stats

Its just how it is

We can win with shitty defensive stats

If your defense is smothering, it doesn't matter how many times the other team gets the ball
