Where's all this inexperience shite coming from??
It's coming from a first-year OC... two freshmen OTs... new center with no experience... new QB with very limited experience...
We've got a handful of exerienced guys on offense... but the OL, QB, and OC aren't... that's not necessarily a recipe for offensive success in your first game of the year against a decent opponent.

You gotta take Clemson in this one because of Boyd and Auburn's inexperience on the O line and at QB.

From StatTiger...
quote:
If you were to take the top 30 percent of the nation’s quarterbacks from 2000-2012, only 20.3 percent were sophomores based on quarterback rating. As expected, seniors appear more frequently, followed by juniors and freshmen were at the bottom with 7.8 percent. Experience is always a huge factor for quarterbacks as they tend to mature with age and experience. The trend is that sophomore quarterbacks triple their production from their freshman year.
quote:
Offensive coordinator Scot Loeffler rotated three different starters at quarterback during the 2011 season. He finally settled on sophomore quarterback Chris Coyer to close out the season. Despite lacking experience, Coyer finished the season with an impressive quarterback rating of 177.4, which included 6 TD passes and 0 interceptions. He added an additional 562-yards rushing on 8.14 yards per carry proving himself as a true dual-threat quarterback.
quote:
Since 1992, Auburn has played 24 opponents they lost to by at least 14 points the previous year. Auburn's combined record in the rematch is currently 13-11 (54.2%). In the last 14 rematches with an opponent that defeated AU by at least 14 pts the year before, AU has a 10-4 (71.4%) record the following year. It would be a great sign if Auburn can avenge 2-3 of those big losses from last year.
quote:
Dating back to 1951, there has been 14 seasons where AU suffered at least 3 losses by 14 or more points. The Tigers bounced back the following year to post at least a 9-4 record or better on 7 occasions. This included a 10-0 season in 1957, 10-2 in 1974, 11-0 in 1993 and 13-0 in 2004.
