re: LSU fans how do you all feel about DQ Williams now?

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.

Uh, how does that not help my argument?

Vertical passing game - the ability to stretch the defense vertically down the field. A good vertical passing game is one that is successful doing it.

Different than short/intermediate passing game. Or horizontal spread passing (bubble screens and what not).

Being successful at something, even if isn't used as much as say the read option, doesn't mean that it's not part of your offense.

This year's Auburn team has a successful vertical passing attack.

Air Force ran for almost 600 more yards than Alabama this year (about 50 ypg more), yet it took them over 200 more carries to do it. Which run game would you rather have? The one averaging 5.97 ypc or the one averaging 4.95 ypc?

Washington State averaged 364 ypg passing. Ten yards more per game than JFF and TAMU. However, they threw it over 140 more times than JFF. Which passing game would you want on your team? The one averaging 6.3 yards/attempt or the one averaging 9.3 yards/attempt?


And when we say "game," we are talking about ability, not cumulative statistics. Doing something over and over doesn't make you good at it if you can't be successful when you do it. Throwing the ball 58 times a game doesn't mean you have a good passing attack if you rank in the 100s when looking at yards per attempt. It just means you throw the ball a lot and aren't very good at doing it.
