I don’t like the story line of “Former Miami Coach Richt’s Nephew Takes It To His Former Team”. I hope that Max is who he is and that we see him the whole game. I really don’t want to see rotating QBs as this defense needs to focus and that would be potentially problematic IMO.

**** this kid. Uncle Mark offered and he committed to LSU instead.
 
This decision by Jimbo is feast or famine. It seems like he pulled the plug early on the kid and went to the vet , a vet who everyone knows what he is. King hit rock bottom last week , benching him this fast is odd. Possibly desperate. I guess that’s why he’s paid the big bucks.

Earlier in week Steele basically said Jimbo offense is Jimbo offense regardless of who is QB. Said you can tunr on film drom FSU and you will see the same thing as last week.. Said one is more pro style, the other more of runner. Rodgers said same thing on ESPN earlier

Then on espn you had guys calling out the simplicity in his offense, reminds me alot of what we said of Richt when he was here, going static 2x2 every play.

Jimbo’s offense hasn’t changed much since his Lsu days lol , that‘s pushing twenty years ago. His offense is what it is , like Steele said the only difference is the qb’s style. He’ll tweak it to fit that guy.
 
Guessing they think (rightfully so) that our corners and LBs in coverage are the weak point of the defense and want a reliable 5-7 yard passer to move the chains. I’d still look for a double move early on TS. That’s on film time and again and they have some legit speed out there.

Curious if Steele will play a lot of man 1 like we have seen thus far this season with the less athletic QB or confuse him with zone blitzes

The thread about Jimbo vs Steele during Steele’s time at Auburn inspired me to do a deeper dive on the scoring in their matchups going back to 2007. I omitted non-offensive scores. Here’s what I found:

Points allowed by Steele vs Jimbo in bold. Scoring averages of Jimbo’s offense and Steele’s defense for that year in parentheses.

2007: 21 (fsu 23.3 ppg avg, Bama 22 ppg allowed )
2.3 points below FSU’s scoring O avg, 1 pt below Bama’s scoring defense avg

2009: 17 (fsu 30.1 ppg, Clemson 20.4 ppg allowed)

13.1 points below FSU scoring O avg
3.4 points above Clemson scoring D avg

2010: 16. (Fsu 31.4 ppg, Clemson 18.8 ppg allowed)

15.4 points below FSU scoring O avg
2.8 points below Clemson scoring D avg

2011: 23. (Fsu 30.6 ppg, Clemson 29.3 ppg allowed)

7.6 points below fsu scoring O avg
6 points below Clemson scoring D avg

2018: 24. (A&M 36 ppg, Aub 19.2 ppg allowed)

12 points below A&M scoring O avg
5.2 points above Auburn scoring D avg

2019: 20. (A&M 29.5 ppg, Aub 19.5 ppg allowed )

9.5 points below A&M scoring avg
0.5 point above Auburn scoring D avg

2020: 31. (A&m 32.6 ppg , Aub 24.7 points allowed )

1.6 points below A&M scoring O avg
6.3 points above Auburn. Scoring D avg



21.7 average ppg allowed by Steele vs Jimbo in 7 matchups where the talent was largely close given the context of the time.
Steele held Jimbo below their scoring average in each of their 7 matchups.

5 of the 7 times he held Jimbo to more than 7 points below their scoring avg

3 of the 7 times Jimbo’s offense scored below the average points per game yielded by Steele’s defense that year.

It’s reasonable to see why Steele should be confident planning to face Jimbo’s offense


Also worth noting:
LSU offense averaged 24.3 ppg against power 5 defenses in 2021 in games Johnson started (not including Arkansas game he only attempted a couple passes in)

And 21 ppg in games he started in 2020

Based on these numbers, I now think it’s very unlikely A&M’s offense scores more than 21 points against us.

The question is, Can we break 20 against them and avoid a non-offensive score by A&M?
