It's like playing chess with a pigeon, I tell ya.We were #2 in country in scoring offense.

just pointing out that I’d rather try to bring back the 35+ turnovers from 2014 than the offense, because the 35+ turnovers is why we went 12-1.
Had nothing to do with being 9th in the country and 1st in the conference in yards per offensive play?

We scored 82 against Tech not because we gained 800 yards on offense. It was the 4 turnovers that led to 10 points.Had nothing to do with being 9th in the country and 1st in the conference in yards per offensive play?
Both sides were dominant. That was one of the most well balanced teams I’d ever seen.Much less to do with that IMO. Even with our almost unwatchable offense this year, if we force 40 turnovers we probably finish at worst 10-2.
I think people kind of have this idea where we were just awesome on offense that year and it just isn’t true. Even saw one comment about how Boykin “shredded” Ole Miss in the Peach Bowl. He was borderline bad in that game, it was dominated by the defense (again).

Offense gained 423 yards on 79 plays and turned it over 4 times. That’ll get you beat more often than not against decent teams. Defense on the other hand gave up 129 yards and turned them over 4 times, and scored a TD. Now that is dominating.
Well that’s certainly an opinion all right.
The 2019 team might very well have have won 10 games with a +35 turnover margin. Hell, they won or were within 1 score of winning 11 games, and would’ve had one more chance in a bowl. But the 2014 team crushed teams. They only won 3 close games all year: OU, West Virginia and Kansas, and only against West Virginia were we on the plus side of turnovers (+4, actually). They didn’t win us OU or Kansas, and they may have increased our margin of victory in the blowouts, but they only won us 1 game. The offense scored all those points.
And it looks pretty lame. "You hurt your neck putting on...pants?"They advertise it on Spectrum all the time.
Well, its obvious the Spirit of the Holiday Season is finally over.Would it be bad of me to say I'd settle for either one?
Obviously wasn't intended as serious except as to the original subject of you post. Hope you have a great year.Well, its obvious the Spirit of the Holiday Season is finally over.
Our 2014 offense wasn’t as great as everyone seems to remember. That team was great because the defense caused something like 38 turnovers on the year. With two slow linebackers and two slow safeties I might add. The 2015 offense was much better. The 2016 offense was god awful.
See my pigeon posting....As if saying the 2014 offense wasn't actually that great isn't enough, taking it to the next level of down playing how good they were in the Peach Bowl against the #1 defense in the country is very impressive. We were up 42-0 with 11 minutes left in the 3rd quarter.
SMH X infinity
Good grief yes.And it looks pretty lame. "You hurt your neck putting on...pants?"
