    @LSU is a huge problem for aggy. LSU is a very different team at home, where they thumped UGa and Miami last season. On the road they lost to aggy and Floriday, struggled badly against Auburn and were completely dominated by Bama.

    Sounds like they've put him on layaway and are making regular payments...

    Needs a sledgehammer and a hard hat but definitely captures the spirit.

    WSU had the #7 pass efficiency defense that year. It was largely an optical illusion caused by clubbing 2 horrible teams (Nevada and and FBS school) like baby seals.

    Allright! Dong pics coming up then! Pre-emptive strike:

    This is peak Leach right here.

    Just to be clear on protocol: it's OK to post 7 on 7 updates as long as they're not from EJ?

    In many years at FSU there were only 1-2 significant games - half what you'd see in most conferences. Already cited 2011 and 2015. In 2012, he beat Clemson and lost to Florida. Even in 2014, he had 2 marginal ranked teams (Duke, Maryland) to go with 2 really good teams (Clemson, Miami) on the schedule to get to the NC game. Maryland turned out to be an illusion. For reference, using the same methodology Texas face ranked opponents in SIX games before the bowls this year in what was a somewhat down year for the Big XII: USC, TCU, OUx2, ISU and WVU. It matters a lot if you have a big talent advantage over the 3rd-6th best teams on your schedule. For Jimbo at FSU those teams were often Duke, Georgia Tech, Maryland or NC State. Next year at aggy those teams will be Georgia, LSU, Auburn and MS State. I'd say that's quite different. Will be a good test of Jimbo's coaching ability.

    Excellent point. In 2011, Bilbo went 9-4 while only playing 2 ranked teams (including the bowl game). He didn't beat either of them. In 2015, he went 10-4 and beat exactly one ranked team - Florida. Again only 2 ranked teams in the regular season and he lost to the third (Houston) in the Peach Bowl. There were some years with 3-4 wins over ranked teams but overall FSU had an incredibly easy road to 8-9 wins every year.

    "Saban is basically implying that Alabama lost the national championship game because it spent the whole 2018 season winning too much. That’s a thinker." USAToday Similar article: https://www.al.com/alabamafootball/2019/02/nick-saban-tide-was-missing-alabama-factor-in-clemson-loss.html Jeez Nick. Did the players call that craptacular fake FG? Is it the players' fault that your pattern matching zones broke down against vertical flood concepts? Is it Tua's fault that nobody taught him to make post snap reads against disguised defenses? Saban is a great coach but he's a turd of a human being and needs to accept responsibility as well as credit.

    There are 2 distinct phases of Fisher. With Winston he was 14-0 and 13-1. w/o Winston his mean was 9.2 wins while his median was 10 wins - the 5-6 season hits the mean hard but does not affect the median.

    Maybe Henson gave Gundy a heads up early enough to bring in a replacement with minimal delay. Him being an OSU alum would tend to argue that he would want minimal disruption for the program due to his move.

    The bad offense in the SEC creates the illusion of great defense - at least in the passing game. The lack of passing threat and consequent ability to load the box also skews run defense numbers somewhat - making decent to good run defense look better than that. The standard issue 3 cupcakes schedule inflates stats across the board of course. Having Georgia and Bama as the best passing teams really doesn't do much to help the defenses develop. They are beating people with talent rather than scheme. So the competitive response has generally been to hire better bagmen rather than better DCs - with the notable exception of LSU who appears to be pursuing a 2-track approach.

    In every one of the past 5 seasons, aggy has lost at least 2 games vs the MS schools and Auburn. They have to beat at least one of Georgia, Bama, Clemson and @LSU just to stay under 4 losses. They then have to run the rest of their conference schedule to stay under 5 losses. This year's aggy squad would have lost 6 games against their 2019 schedule.

    Baggins stumbled into his one and only NC like a blind nut finding a squirrel. I've called him a poor man's Mack Brown but really maybe a 3rd rate Mack would be more appropriate. BOTH of Mack's QBs that got us to the NC game developed a ton while they were on campus.

    Fatball: I like it and I'll probably use it to troll the mouthbreathers. But it's a much more complex phenomenon than that. Bama has a pretty big team but it's been getting smaller over the last few years as Saban has moved away from that model and he's one of the few who can get huge athletes that give up less in speed and quickness. It's really more the teams trying to copy Bama (or what Bama used to be) that are the heart of SEC Fatball.

    Looks good other than maybe Texas-UGa points are reversed. It's pretty clear that it was the Big XII offenses dictating the scoring pace, rather than the SEC defenses in these match ups. Even true in the Sugar Bowl since Texas is more of a ball control offense and tough defense team design than most of the conference.
  21. sushihorn
    They had bad results with 35 sacks (8.3% sack ratio) and 89 TLFs. The Sacks are a horrible stat in a league where few defenses are designed to stop the pass.

    Yeah trying to argue with aggy will make you clinically insane...like doing acid 7 times does. They're not worth our time and energy, other than the comedy. Some people like Being John Malkovich.

    Now that's a @MrPhlegm post that I can get behind! If you're going to photobomb a thread, that is DEFINITELY the way to do it.

    Why? We all understand the concept of refractory period...

    Do we need to update Huck's flowchart?
