Yup and Joseph Stalin once started out studying to be a priest and we all know how that turned out...anyways back to football. Whatever the case is he better understand that defense is still important or he will never win a NC unless he gets lucky/once-in-a-generation QB again.
As someone mentioned earlier, Gus was a defensive coordinator when he started coaching. But that was a nice attempt at a joke.
I seem to remember he left the barn on bad terms. He was not happy with them and they were upset he leave for what they saw as a lateral move to be the DC at Texas. Everyone in the world except the cult that is the barn knows the Texas DC is a better job than being at Auburn in any position.
63 plays against MSU and 75 against LSU.
Yea he said the tempo was causing to many self inflicted mistakes (false starts, substitution penalties etc) and that they were not executing the plays as well as they could if they were going normal pace. They have done far less tempo this year..
That can't be right..
This not counting punts and kicks...we had 31 passes and 32 rushes.
If that is what he said, he's wrong. Alabama ran 63 plays against MSU. Do you realize how difficult it would be for a team to run 130 plays in a game?
Especially when they run, what, 6 or 8 plays in the 3rd quarter? Couldn't believe we held the ball so little then.
Bama ran 32 plays in the second half; somewhere between 14 and 29 plays in the third quarter. I'm not sure of the exact number because the 15 play, touchdown drive started in the third quarter and went to the fourth.
You mean the same Ellis Johnson who went 3-8 under Mike Dubose at Bama?
No. He's talking about the Ellis Johnson who went 0-12 at Southern Miss..
Yep, the same Ellis Johnson whose SC defense held Mark Ingram to 246 yards.
