That was part of Joe’s problem. He believes in being 50/50. That’s not the way this teams built. We’re a throw just enough to keep the defense honest. Hopefully tonight means he realized that.

He has to. But in time I'm sure he wants 50/50. Going to be a while before he can do that effectively.

Hill had 126 rushing with 5.5 ypc

I loved the plan to get him to the edge tonight. That kid has heart AND talent.

I agree with the way the team is built. One thing though... I think he and everyone underestimated how ****** Fitzgerald is as a passer beyond 5 yards. I think we all expected him to get at least a little better as a senior but he’s the same or worse.

We run the ball this much vs UK and UF we win the UF game and more than likely UK.

17 passing

This is really the only stat you need

Unless you throw to the tight ends when they are the only guys open..... like tonight.

17 passing

17 attempts for 69 yards and just a hair under 4.20 yards/attempt. By far the nicest and most dank passing game plan of the season.

And while Nick did get stuffed a few times, he had by far his best rushing game of the last 3 games as well. Amazing how getting the ball in the hands of your most electric player suddenly opens things up for the entire offense.

If we can run for 350 yds against Auburn, I think we can run against anyone if we continue to gameplan for it

JoMo watched the GaTech game earlier Saturday for ratio goals

The offense was run the best way for Fitzgerald to be an effective SEC QB. He's not an SEC pocket passer. He's a historic, if not the best, ever SEC running QB. When you have that, play to his strengths and when you have a monster at RB and road graders at OL, that's what you use.

I really hope we can get a better power short yardage formation. I know Auburn has one of the top Dlines in the country, but we won't be able to consistently get short yardage with 5 OL and 4 WR as blockers. We were lucky in some instances last night and got stuffed on one short yardage play on 4th down. Need to fix this.

Overall I give Joe a A- in this game.
