There has been a lot of frustration from the Auburn fan base this year over the lack of offense from a coach that has shown himself to be an offensive genius in the past. Auburn finished the regular season 78th in the country with an average of 27.2 points per game – two touchdowns less a game than what their Birmingham Bowl opponent averaged during the season.
Last year Gus had the offense scoring an average of 35.5 points per game, and the year before that they average 39.5 points a game. In two years this offense has dropped 10 points a game on average from where they were when they won the SEC title.
