PPG- Rich Rod 27.2 Joe 26.5

The point is to score. Not collect yards. Getting 600 yards on someone and not cracking at least 40 is actually kind of sad when you think about it. We've played a true freshman about half the year at QB. Actually still should be playing Shrader but that's another discussion. I can't fix Joe's stupid.

Digging into the scores:

The only times they have cracked 30 in SEC play has been either against Arkansas (fewer than Joe and Tommy Turnover were able to rack up by a whopping two TD's and in Oxford no less whereas we did it in Fayetteville and no I'm not counting Murphy's defensive TD), Vanderbilt, and then blowouts against Alabama and LSU. By blow out I mean allowed at least 56 points or more. Other than that when teams are playing with the game on the line they haven't been impressive. Even Mizzou had a fairly decent lead before the "comeback" and they got up to 27 points.

I could talk about what they did in OOC play but it's also largely not impressive either considering the competition.

Now, we may very well lose to them. But that says a lot more about US than it does them.

At any rate, I find it interesting that some fans think an offense that is putting up basically the same production- aside from yards- but PPG, rushing (they do have more yards but it's more a function of their scheme having more attempts as the rushing per AVG per game for both of us is only about .4-.5 yards off, and passing are pretty similar as what Joe is doing now if you look at it analytically.
