Thanks for sharing! There's no way of twisting these numbers. Bad all the way around. No wonder we lost to Auburn!

Also, I couldn't help but notice that the other CFP teams are ranked:

Clemson #10
Georgia #16
OU: #34

The NCAA website has different rankings:

Georgia: #7
Clemson: #10
Oklahoma: #39
Alabama: #54

3rd down has been the biggest problem for us since last January against quality opponents. More so on offense than defense but the issues have been there.

I wonder why there's the difference. I would assume these "stats" are based on the school's official stats that they share with agencies.

At any rate, still a concern.

Kinda surprised OU is that low...but what's different about them and us is they are more of an explosive offense that scores in spurts with big plays and we need to be more of a ball control offense that keeps the chains moving.

Yep - they complete the huge pass plays. Their offense reminds me a lot of Alabama's offense with Sims at QB a few years ago - bombs away!

Just hope to high heavens that we don't get any injuries over the next few weeks in practice. If we can avoid those we'll be in good shape come Jan 1..

Basically can’t have Evans or Wilson get hurt and they need to be 100% unlike the Iron Bowl. Evans especially seems to need a blow more than Hamilton, Ragland, or Foster did. Not a great thing to happen.

Are there any middle linebackers left on the roster ? I suppose Holcombe will have to play a lot more now. Let's just hope Mack Wilson is ready to go for the game.

Yep. Holcombe is pretty good in nickel/dime but can be a liability in running situations. I think Mack will be ready to go.

Mack and Evans will be the main starters but they will need to take a breather every so often. Just wonder which guys they rotate in ?
