Exactly. If we weren't putting up points and yards then I'd have a problem with it. But we're getting incredible results. If we didn't have the insane injuries we had this year we would have been top 2 in the conference behind Auburn. If it works, I don't care.
While I agree that we have put up enough points to win most games during Bobo's tenure, it's not all about average points per game but rather getting points in the clutch to win big games. That's where we have been lacking. The classic example of course was not coming up with a winning play against Alabama in the SECCG last season. Auburn is playing for another NC not because of stellar defense but rather because their offense was able to score points when they needed them most. In spite of our porous defense vs the run last season, our defense would probably have been good enough to beat an overrated Notre Dame in the NCG if we could have gotten past Bama.

Did you not feel like we were still going to win the AU game when we got the ball back?

What was LSU? South Carolina? We kept scoring under pressure. We couldn't get stops, but we kept scoring, and scoring, and scoring. Even Auburn this year. Bobo couldn't have called a better 4th quarter in the clutch, realistically. Our inability to make a stop is not on Bobo.
We couldn't come up with the winning play against Bama because a great defensive player made a great defensive play, and the ball happened to be caught in the worst possible spot. Those are the breaks sometimes.
Y'all are looking for the perfect OC. Those don't exist. Y'all are pointing out individual moments of failure and ignoring broader offensive successes. It's a classic case of missing the forest for the trees. We have a good OC, and that's backed up by outside observers saying he's one of the best.
