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

That's what u do when you can't score TDs in the redzone. Not really that absurd

Clearly I have because I just posted the statistics. You kicked 4 last year alone.

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

5 in 2014
2 in 2015
4 in 2016

Of those 11 field goals 5 of them were on 4th and 1. In case you didn’t know all 3 of those games were Auburn loses.

Last year was worse than that...in 2014 we moved the ball all over the field.

I may be wrong, but 3 of those field goals last season came after 2 turnovers and a nice punt return where we were unable to pick up a 1st down before kicking the FG on the plus side of the field. I believe in 1 of those possession we actually went backwards.

That few?

Saying our kicking has been pretty bad in that same timeline is an understatement. Feels like we have missed 20.

Auburn is going to win every once in a while. We can’t beat them every year.

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

Nope. In fact, you haven't been able to win 50% of the time over the past 30 years:
