I'm not going to say anything has broken Gus, in his mind at least. He's a saint.

Here's my argument and I am pulling it out my arse.

Pruitt had the right idea, but he still could not keep auburn from scoring with a minute left.

Snyder a brilliant coach built on that, used it as a blueprint, but he didn't have the athletes. So it was a close 20-14 win and thank you Marshall for completing a clutch 3rd down. Surely Gus the genius will learn and feed off that, that was our 2013 lsu game... right?

LSU was in garbage mode, the win wasn't indicative of the state of auburn offense.

MsSt. Had the plan thank you K State- and they had the athletes.

Tammy. Sloppy or really unlucky play by auburn, not sure Tammy watches game film so I don't think it was preparation.

UGA. Auburn scores 7. UGA the next fricking 34. They knew the plan thank you MsSt, K State and FSU.

Bama? 8 redzone attempts and 2 TDs. They knew too. But that was the game where the long bombs to Coates worked.

So when I look at the K State game I think it showed the offense was broken and missing a transmission and what time told us was Gus had stopped making adjustments back in 2013 and good defenses ate him up for it.

RedZone
2013- 61 attempts, converted 72% to TDs, 88% to a score.
2014 - 58 attempts, 65% TDs, 88% a score.
2015 - 51 attempts, 62% TDs, 90% a score.
2016 - 55 attempts, 56% TDs, 85% scores.
2017 - 6 attempts (3 per game vs 4.5 normal) 50% attempts became TDs and we've scored 100% of the attempts.

Basically you just argued that the FSU game broke him by ignoring a lot of offensive production.

Disagree, somewhat.

Sure, the offense sputtered against KState, but their defense was legit for a Big12 team, and it was arguably the biggest OOC home game in their history (not to mention the first road OOC victory for AU in 17 years).

If you want to look at the game that screwed Gustav's concept of how his offense should look, try the opener that year versus Arky. JJ looked like a worldbeater (statistically, that one half ended up being the best game of his career), and might have planted the idea in Gustav's head that he could take a drop-back passer and still run things like he did with Cam/Nick.
