Just when you thought the AU-MSU futbol game couldn't get any worse, we got what happened Saturday. Look, a win versus Tennessee is a win over Tennessee and is something that should be celebrated. But didn't that game feel like a loss? I wasn't pumped up after that game and I don't see how anyone could be.
We are averaging 8 points per game (3 TDs and 1 FG) against SEC teams offensively and our defense is averaging 4.67 points per game (2 TDs) in the SEC.
To make this offense work you need either an elite passer or a dual-threat quarterback. Todd is not an elite passer and never will be. We have seen the best of Todd. His arm strength is lacking and cannot fire passes into tight coverage. UT's DBs were sitting on his routes and should have had two more interceptions. I can't stand to see him throw into double and triple coverage anymore.
Kodi can grow into this offense, the sky is the limit for him. Name him the starter and let him be our QB for the next 2 and 1/2 seasons. He has a stronger arm, is more decisive and teams have to respect the run. He has to grow into a passer during game situations. He has yet to be given the chance in those situations.
The team looks like they play harder and with more energy with Kodi at QB. I can't even count how many times I've seen Mario Fannin, Tim Hawthorne or another receiver shake their heads in disgust as a pass thrown their way has been underthrown or one-hopped to them...
“He brings some oomph back into the offense,” Mario Fannin said. “He gave the offense some hype.”
We cannot continue to waste an elite defense and running backs like Ben Tate. I have flashbacks to Terry Bowden and Stephen Davis when I watch Tate run the ball.
UT's avg starting field position was AU's 49 in the 2nd half while the 13 was AU's avg starting field position. Our defense is amazing and to hold UT like they did with their backs against the wall is nothing short of spectacular. No matter how bad UT's offense is playing.
Franklin has said he doesn't gameplan for specific opponents. That's not working. The offense looks decent in the first half and then looks like crap in the second half. He doesn't gameplan and he doesn't make halftime adjustments. That can't continue.
