One of our biggest weaknesses this year is something called "POINTS PER OPPORTUNITY"
this means "getting points when you cross the opponents 40 yard line"
so far this year- auburns had a total of 40 scoring opportunities. now that might not seem like much but its actually inline with most of the SEC only slightly lagging
(alabama-43, arkansas-47, georgia-44, lsu-49, mizzou-50, texas-51, ole miss-54)
the good news is that kentucky is the lowest by a good margin at 33 opportunities on the year. they are slightly more efficient with their chances though. the only other team less than 40 is miss st with 37
a big chunk is coming from aamu and new mexico game tho (15 of them from those 2 games)
we are extremely bad at converting them into points
even worse if you take out the aamu game
tldr: we are really good at shooting ourselves in the foot
heres the breakdown of each opportunity in individual games this year. on eachof these opportunities we should at least be getting 3 points to be "SEC AVERAGE"
VS AAMU
6 opportunities-31points: passing 4/10 56 yrds 2td rushing 4carries 47yrds 2td 1/1 fg
5points/opp 5.6 ypa passing 11.8 ypc
VS CAL
2 opportunities-14 points: passing 2/3 17yrds 1td rushing 4carries 14yds 1td
7pts/opp 5.8ypa 3.5 ypc
(problem with this game was too few opportunities. actually efficient)
VS UNM
9 opportunities-45points: passing 11/16 104 yds 4tds rushing 18 carries 113yds 2td 1/1fg 2fumbles (1lost)

benchmarks to look for---- passing yards per attempt >7yards rushing yards per attempt >3 should be >3 points per opportunity to be average, >4 to be "good"
