re: Auburn vs. Clemson: Game Analysis

FWIW, GSU is a much worse team this year than they have been historically. Ask their fans (several GSU alum friends/family). Referring to the Florida game, takes you back I believe to when they were still a triple option team. They run a different scheme now and really have struggled to be effective running the ball.

That's not to say they're a push over or anything, but GSU in 2017 is not the same as the GSU that you're referring to in the case of UF and Bama. The Ole Miss game is when Kelly went down with the ACL injury in the third quarter. They got off to a good start, but essentially did nothing the rest of the game... coincidentally neither did Ole Miss after losing Kelly.

They're better than Kent state, but not "orders of magnitude" greater by any means. Connelly's S&P+ put GSU at 98 with Kent state at 123... and that's with the metric giving a fair amount of weight to their 5 year average which includes the seasons prior to 2016 with a different coach and scheme for what it's worth.
