That is an absurd number. Why does Gus like to kick so many field goals? You have to think Auburn is going to have to change this to win.

Just trying to pad Legatron’s stats, IMO.

Clearly you haven't paid attention to our Red Zone O since 2014...even now we are as likely to score at TD on a big play as in Red Zone. To Chip's credit a few wrinkles has improved our Red Zone performance this season.

Sims' year was ridiculous. Auburn could have put Alabama in a MASSIVE hole early in the game.

What was he thinking? 11 TDs are better than 11 FGs. Wow

I don't recall any of those, but I do recall one that Bama attempted.

Gus should try to move to the NFL. He would love it there with all his field goals. He would fit right in.

Gus trolling Saban with his ability to always have a great kicker on the roster.

2 out of those 3 IBs were with a crippled QB.

Isn't the FG kicker the highest scoring player in NCAA football right now from AUBURN.

Im not sure, but I do know its an SEC kicker who has scored the most points than any other player.

I can believe that

Bama has a iron wall red zone defense

I hate - don't know what to do about it

but it is what it is - Bama D is a on-going nightmare

Nick would have done better staying in Baton Rouge !!!!

I am pulling for the War Eagles but they need to score long TD's and
not try pushing through that Red Zone D

The last two seasons (first half of this year) Gus would not throw the ball once inside the opponents 40 yard line. He did not want to risk a turnover and giving up 3 automatic points. After Carlson had two kicks blocked, he started changing his play calling.
