Quite remarkable, really. And, ya know, the quoted writer's opinion
notwithstanding, even a ho-hum win is a win. Phooey on him.

Sorry, Meyer, but gaining 375 yards of total offense against Vanderbilt
(2-8, 0-6), while giving up four sacks and scoring just two touchdowns in four
red zone trips is “ho-hum.”
Yet, we had 374 total yards in our offensive "explosion" against Georgia a
week ago?
I might be mistaken, but I would wager that we also had more possessions
against Georgia due to the multiple INTs.
Basically, 400 yards or so of offense is exceptional. Anyone who thinks
otherwise needs help.
As was mentioned in this forum, the big difference between this year and last
year is not so much the offense, or the lack of Percy. It is the defensive
scoring and field position. I remember a number of turnovers and big punt
returns that set our team up inside the opponent's 10 yard line. That as much
as anything, led to some of the big scores we put up last year.
I think this stat is remarkable:
Total Offense
375 yards - vs. Vanderbilt
374 yards - vs. Georgia
376 yards - vs. Miss. St.
Could we be any more consistent?
