So I was right.

So basically, it's about average, and considering we have John Chavis, we expect to win when the offense puts up an average performance.


Negative.

The average was 28.1 points per game in conference play in 2013.

The individual talent on the 2013 offense was stellar, and no one is arguing to the contrary.

However, as a unit, they were not spectacular. They were 6th in scoring, 7th in total yards, 9th in first downs per game, and 6th in redzone scoring percentage. The unit itself was nothing more than an above-average offense on par with 2011 Alabama.

Just because we dont run an up tempo style of offense. Miles goal has never been to run 90 plays a game. He does not want to expose his defense more, especially one that wasn't very good in 2013. The fact is that offense had a 3000 yard passer, 1400 yard rusher and 2 1000 yard WRs which has NEVER been done before in SEC history.
