#40. Wow. Who cares. Point is we are not great at passing and we will be roundly punished for it at some point.

Sick of the sunshine pumping nonsense.

You should. You were the one saying we had not faced a Top 40 passing D...when we have faced 3 in 4 games.

Last year we could compensate through solid run blocking and the element of surprise.

No, but his measly 166 passing yards with two NFL receivers on the field did.

Did not enjoy his 3 TD passes and 199 QB rating(third highest of his AU career)?

With 10 completions, I certainly hope it's that high.

We'll see how right either one of us is after Saturday. I'll be happy to be wrong.

Well I am sure the #5 pass D that LSU will bring will affect NM but regardless of his play, he will be good in my book.

He has more than proven to be the man this season.

The run blocking is a legit concern. We can no longer get 7-8 yards running up the gut with everyone knowing it's coming. It still amazes me that we could do that last year. Hopefully Marshall can compensate just enough.

But the element of surprise is bullshite. Do you honestly think UGA, Bama, Mizzou, FSU didn't know what we were going to do on offense?

Part of that was how dominant in traffic Tre Mason was. Still, our interior OL and HBack have been rough

And our starting QB is 97th (not adjusted for drops) in the country in completion percentage
Good thing you didn't adjust for drops.

Because if you included just the 6 drops against KSU, his completion percent jumps up 8 percent to 64.4% which would put him at 35th in the country.

That's what happens when you have a low number of attempts. Those six drops have a pretty significant effect on his numbers.

and I'm sure he is the only QB that has had WRs drop the ball


Look, Marshall clearly has improved but the OL is playing is not conducive to Marshall's style of play.

Another interesting stat under Malzahn...

Auburn has now been ranked in the AP top 10 for 14 straight polls. The longest top 10 streak since the 94/95 seasons under Tater Tot (17 polls).

I don't watch every other game, so I can't tell you if other teams have had as many drops as Auburn compared to the number of attempts (Marshall has thrown the least amount of any SEC starting QB).

But I like the way you try to downplay that point as if an 8 point swing & a 64% completion percentage is trivial.
