Thank you. Because our offense returned everyone, these numbers should have gone up. Which means the disparity between our performance and what we should be achieving is even greater than reflected here in these comparisons. Richt has been nothing short of a disaster as oc so far. What's really sad is that if Richt and the offense could have been simply average these past two games instead of horrible, we win them easily.

Agree that we should have done better, but it also depends on the opponent. Did any of them get better?

I appreciate that context. In this case, FSU, IMO, had a worse defense than what they trotted out at Doak (road game) last year.

Again, I am still more upset with what we showed against FSU vs what we did against UNC. Not by an incredible amount, because it's tough to see that Illinois and James Madison performed better against UNC's defense. It's also tough to see us have some success in-game when we committed to something and then go away from it. Quite schizophrenic overall.

To put that in an even more pathetic context, Rick is getting dominated by Jim Coley. It's not like Petrino was our OC last year.

Well, we've performed worse against everyone. I doubt they've all gotten better. As lu mentioned, FSU is worse for sure. I'm pretty sure UNC is worse too.
