[QUOTE="SOWEGA Jacket, post: 756538, member: 4334"] Scoring averages don’t mean a whole lot in college football because of the huge differences in talent. Coach Johnson’s system feasted on the sisters of the poor and occasionally showed up against the big boys (Miss. State). You said he averaged 33 his last season. A quick look revealed we scored 41 against Alcorn, 39 against South Florida, 63 against Bowling Green, and 66 against Louisville against whom we scored 46 this year with a freshmen QB. We scored less than 25 against Duke, Clemson, UGA, and Minnesota with a second year starter. Point is, we were less than an offensive juggernaut when it mattered. We all sat thru those games and watched BBack dive after QB keeper get stopped. Did we eat up some clock and keep scores closer, sure. But I also think as Sims gets better we’ll see more quality drives and higher point production. And, yes, we’ve scored over 30 once since. In 2019 we had no QB (part of why the coach retired). This year we are playing a true freshmen and are suffering thru turnover hades. That won’t last. I loved Johnson‘s system but the death of it lays at his feet when he allowed the media to set the narrative which bled down to high school coaches and players. I’ve been told directly by several high school coaches in South Georgia that the only players they pushed to GT were those who didn’t have the offers to other P5 schools. Why would coaches push WR’s, RB’s, and defensive players to a system that everyone made fun of. I don’t agree with that but that was the prevailing thought. [/QUOTE]
