Auburn ranks last in the SEC in Drive Efficiency with a -0.12 (the only team in the negative).
Drive Efficiency refers to how well a team can consistently sustain drives and put up points, beyond what can be explained by typical metrics like total yards gained. In simpler terms, it measures a team's ability to finish drives successfully—scoring points—while accounting for key factors like explosive plays, yards per play, avoiding three-and-outs, and limiting turnovers.
RedZone Attempts and Conversions - 8 attempts (Last in the SEC), 50% result in TDs (11th in the conference)
First Downs - 19 total per game - ranks 10th in the conference, 58th nationally
3rd down conversions - 38% ranks 9th in conference, 55th nationally
4th down conversions - 36% ranks 12th in conference, 94th nationally
Yes, turnovers are problematic, but there are many other factors holding back the offense besides turnovers. And before Rice tells us about explosive plays or play efficiency, here is the rank for them:
Auburn is 9th in the conference in explosive play rank
Auburn is 13th in the conference in play efficiency rank.
