Still trying to figure out why we are worried about it. It?s going to be what it?s going to be. As long as the offense is productive and scores points I could care less what the comp % is.
Thanks for answering the question, I thought I remembered something similar on here a month or so ago.
I do not know about worry, but a good reason to talk about it is that it drastically impacts our ceiling as a team. We will lose 3-4 games at this level of qb play, even with a good D and a handful of explosive plays. Just because Auburn, Bama, Texas A&M, and LSU away are on our schedule. But, with that added passing dimension we could be a playoff team with a couple of breaks.
And this collection of defensive talent is a once in a blue moon thing, so it is worth talking about how far it might take us.
I agree there is no need to obsess on 65%. But as others have stated 55-60 is probably critical against tougher opponents. And that level of improvement seems attainable.
But some posters (not the one on this reply) should stop bitching and moaning about people talking about it, it is college football in the South surrounding a really good team. This is what it is like. Better to be a talking point than not. If you want sunshine and rainbows go watch Care Bears.
