JessN: SECCG wrap-up: This Was the Georgia We Expected, and the Alabama We Feared We'd See

Dang, that was fast. Have two drafts written and post the one needed based on the outcome?

Ha, not really, I just kind of had it written in my head from about halftime onward. Sometimes it just pours out when you sit down at the keyboard.

CKD and CRG simply didn't have to play this physical in their previous stops.

All of our problems on offense can be laid at the feet of philosophy and design. Basically coaching. They spent a whole season last year doing stuff they didnt want to do. And they were damned they were going to do it again this year.

I'll tell you what's odd about this: Look at Alabama's final offensive rankings last year -- 42nd in total offense, 47th in rushing offense, 56th in passing offense, 22nd in scoring offense.

I'm not calling for a return to the Milroe days but that's a balanced offensive output. It just wasn't enough of either. But whether it was due to the change from Sheridan to Grubb calling plays or the QB differences or whatever, Alabama had balance in the attack.

Our rankings right now? 67th in total offense, 116th in rushing, 21st in passing, 41st in scoring offense.

I wonder what the rushing ranking would have been last year without Milroe's runs? Not suggesting you look it up.

We got to where we didnt even look like an offense last year.

We look like an offense this year albeit poorly orchestrated one. Maybe we are in a baby step rebuild...
