re: I think it's time for a make fun of Auburn post

• In those 8 games outside of JH, Auburn outscored Georgia 52-44 in the 1st quarter
• But after the 1st quarter, Auburn was outscored
206-36

I'd like to take a stab at this.

Just speculating, but a knock against Malzahn was always his predictability.

Could we interpret this scoring trend as his initial game plan surge (1Q), followed by defensive adjustments and Malzahn's refusal to change his scheme to match (2Q-4Q)?

That would explain the lack of offensive points as the game progressed, with the defense staying relatively consistent throughout.



ETA: About the defense, I guess over eight games it would be about 6 points in 1Q, followed by an average of about 9 points in 2Q-4Q. Maybe a lack of offense was giving the opponent more possessions/turnovers.
