Justin has fun w/numbers:
Well for certain values of “fun”.

let’s look at the five Power 5 games Auburn has played this season: Cal, Texas A&M, Georgia, LSU and Ole Miss.
In those games, Auburn has averaged just 4.36 yards per play. That’s the seventh-lowest mark among Power 5 teams. Auburn has also averaged 16.6 points per game against Power 5 opponents, which is also the seventh-lowest mark in the P5.
The rushing attack, averaging 4.06 yards per carry against Power 5 opponents, is in the middle of the road nationally. The passing attack, however, is at 4.9 yards per attempt — tied with Minnesota for the second-worst among Power 5 teams and only ahead of Iowa.
Those numbers are bad enough. But a deeper dive into the Tigers’ drive charts from these five Power 5 games shows just how much they’ve struggle to move the ball with either efficiency or explosiveness…
Auburn has had 58 offensive possessions across its five games in Power 5 play. Auburn has only scored on 13 of those possessions — nine touchdowns and four field goals, plus a 2-point conversion — for 76 points.
That means Auburn has only scored 22.4% of the time in Power 5 action, with a touchdown rate of just 15.5%. Additionally, four of those nine touchdowns have come on short fields created by turnovers.==============================
