To those who thing Bobo should be fired.

Every week we tabulate the efficiency numbers for each SEC offense based solely on their performance against other SEC teams. That way nothing is skewed by a game with a Furman, a Western Kentucky, or even a Virginia Tech.

The stat itself is pretty simple: total offensive plays run… divided by the total number of passing/rushing touchdowns scored. That gives us a “pure” plays-per-touchdown grade for each school.

Below you’ll find those numbers as they stand through this past weekend’s action.

Sorry the post came out so long, it was supposed to be side by side stats.

Thoughts Gentlemen?

Are those TD's the offensive TD's? Or do they include the two by Boykin on kick returns?

Best I can tell from the explanation, its offensive TD's only.

I just want to know how we can have the best TD #s in the league and have the record we have.

Because it doesn't take alot of important factors into account. Like for instance, our one every 18 plays could be 4 or 5 3-and-outs and one quick score, giving the other team plenty of opportunitis to score. Then take, say, UF's every 24 plays could be 2 or 3 long drives resulting in FG's, then a TD. So with UF's D, they are probably up 16-0, yet, we are down 28-7. Just an example, I have no idea what the actual #'s are, of course.

The main thing I blame bobo for is not putting away teams when he has the chance, he gets away from plays that worked early in the game, just to go back to them later to either win or tease us with a win. And those 3rd and long draw plays should be thrown out of the playbook, its rare one of those gain much yardage, let alone results in a first down.

Oh and for not pushing for Cox to be benched since its obvious to almost everyone that he looks scared and lost out there, his reactions to critics pretty much proves that point. I will be so glad when joe is gone after this year, I just hope he takes willie with him.
