I do not consider 12 TD's, 5 games below 100 yds, 8 games below 200 yds, and less than 2000 yds total much of a vertical "passing game"
Pretty smart on your part. You know, since Auburn threw the ball less than 20 times a game (119th in the country). Total yards and total TDs would be the correct and only stat-line to consider.
Me? Personally, I'd look at how effective they were at throwing the ball. Yards per attempt. Yards per completion. You know, those stats that would really show WHAT kind of passing game they had.
quote:Oh you mean when JJ threw the ball over 80 more times than Marshall? Did you know that JJ averaged a full yard less in yards per attempt than Marshall?
I think there are a few Auburn fans here that are confused between vertical threat and vertical passing game. Stats do not back up that claim for vertical passing game . Link all 12 TD's in gifs. 12 is still unimpressive. JJ had 17 TD's and 2000+ as a first year starting QB. I would never consider that a vertical passing game.
Bo Wallace threw for over 3000 yards and 17 TDs. He averaged less yards per attempt and yards per completion than Marshall.
Tyler Wilson threw for over 3600 yards in 2011 and 24 TDs. He averaged the same yards per attempt as Nick Marshall and had a worse TD-attempt ratio.
BUT 3000+ YARDS!!!!!!!!!!!!! VERTICAL PASSING GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your post doesn't help your argument much. It seems like you're saying that AU's passing game is one of the most efficient in the nation when used, yet you never use it.
