What is this Mercer Math?....the best score at Mercer is the lowest score? xdizzyx This may explain some things. Somebody needs to tell Mercer Head Coach Lamb, the team with the highest score wins! Don't buy into this coach! Way to Go Samford....Places first with the highest score!...lol...:)
Just kidding. Nice work on this....
How about...
1.) having the #1 Total Offense in the SoCon 2 years in a row or......
2.) the # 7 Total offense in 2015 and #14 total offense in the nation in 2016 or.......
3.) Hanging 41 on an SEC team.....
Does that count as an offensive genius? You know the other 11 games played? .... it was one game sir. It was a fluke.
One game this year. Happened in 2015 as well when a bad Furman defense shut the Bulldogs out for a half as well.
I see Hatcher as a good offensive coach, but no offensive genius.
Someone always puts up the SoCon's best offense. In fact, if you look at the last five years, the SoCon's top offense puts up right at about 35 points per game (Samford twice, GSU twice, UTC once). So, Samford in 2016 is essentially doing exactly what other teams in the years' prior had done. Perhaps they were all led by offensive geniuses.
Did you see the Dumpster Fire that Hursman walked into? We were 1-11 the year before and had been one of the worst programs in the country for nearly 30 years. I don't think anyone in the SoCon can argue that him guiding UTC to winning 55% of his games his first two years is A LOT better coaching job than Hatcher coming into a middle of the pack SoCon team and winning 57% of his games.
...and a bunch of mostly walk-ons from Mercer, with, I believe, the statistically worst pass defense in the SoCon, held Sammy & Coach Genius to 3 points in the Final 3 quarters in Homewood on Homecoming AND Senior Day in 2016.
So...from the 2nd quarter of the Mercer game thru the 3rd quarter of the Youngstown game (10 consecutive quarters), Sammy & Coach Genius scored 24 points. 2.4 points / quarter...or 9.6 points/game, 70% of that against 2 start-up programs - an Offensive Juggernaut without equal!!!
In fact, in their dark, quiet, shadowy places, Sammy fans will admit (to themselves only), they were about 1-1/2" away from losing their final 4 games (2 of those to start-up programs), finishing 6-5 overall, 4-4 & 5th place in the SoCon, and certainly not making the playoffs.
That's the reality of this vast improvement & momentum that Sammy is carrying into 2017.
...and they have had a break-out star Rookie D-Lineman in the NFL this year, at least 4 or 5 FBS transfers in their fronts, and numerous All-SoCon selections in the trenches in the past 2 years.
I would argue that Sammy has had, CLEARLY, the absolute best talent in the SoCon in the past 2 years, but I don't want to awaken the wrath of Chattttttttown and take this thread to the usual place threads go when he takes keyboard in hand.
