Someone other than Harris needs to start next week - PERIOD

[aka]

And since that's the case, it is on him to find a way to get it done and rise above it. He just hasn't been able to do it. I still say the team is aware of the situation and they will be ok with going in a different direction next year.

So basically you're saying Jimbo is as stupid as Richt (okay I'll give you that's not a far leap) and wouldn't have adjusted if we ran every down. Do you think our average would still be 5 yards per carry if we ran every down? The pass, or at least the threat of a pass, sets up the run. It works both ways.

There is a reason we had WR's open all night last night....because they were smart enough to figure out that our midget QB couldn't see them....in other words they didn't care about our guys being wide open....and we still averaged over 5 yards a carry.....you don't have to be a genius to play those odds, yet somehow our coaches neglected to notice and take full advantage.

Is it a fact that at least ten of those 40 "rushes" were passing plays where treon simply wasn't able to throw the ball? Or is that just a myth?

Monkey myth.

At least when I fling poo I'm accurate.

You can't bring me down tonight. We got a QB coming as an EE. I'm on a high!

It's Will Grier's team.

Part of me wishes Mac would just run the ball every play next week so we can all see it would result in nothing and then Crete would shut up

We got 134 yards on those 38 passes and 136 yards on the 40 carries.

And that's the problem. Averaging 3.5 yards per pass is abysmal. A good game passing wise is when a QB throws for, what, 250-275 yards and if a guy goes for 300+ yards passing everybody is singing his praises. With that math, we would have needed to average basically double what we did, about 7 yards per pass to really think we had some success throwing the ball.

 

[GatorInGeorgia]

At this point, can we really call Treon "dual-threat"?

Yes we can. He can eff us up and shiit the bed in games where he turns the ball over and he can eff us up and shiit the bed in games like last night where he was turnover free.

To be fair Durty I didn't say EVERY PLAY, I said he should not be throwing the ball more than a dozen or so times per game.... I'm not sure we'd average 5+ yards per carry against Bama.......BUT if we were would you EVER want to see Treon attempt more than a token few passes in the game?

It's even worse than that. With the sacks considered, we got about 5.3 yards per running play and about 2.6 yards per passing play.

That's true but I didn't want to confuse Law so I kept it simple by using his figures. The point is still glaringly obvious...the passing game sucked and Kelvin Taylor had a very good game running the ball.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

No way, Taylor sucks. I read it here.

I think if Treon had a broken throwing arm and was for some reason the only player we could put behind center some dumbasses on this board would want him to try and throw the ball left handed instead of us just running the ball......Like if we had won they wouldn't count it or put an asterisk next to it because we didn't throw the ball enough times
Go back and watch the FSU-GT game....even Clemson didn't take control in their game with FSU until they started running almost every play in the second half.

We attempted only 17 passes vs FAU. How'd that work out for us?

I don't know....were we averaging 5+ yards a carry in that game also?

Our problem is mostly in the red zone. We have been able to manufacture enough drives to get into scoring range with our play calling, but we bog down when we get in the red zone. Between our kicking situation and the QB play, it's been a nightmare.
