Longo leaving OM

[HumpDawgy]

They were ranked in the top 10 in total offense this year. Longo was going to get interest somewhere if it wasn't UNC.

Again, those stats were padded heavily in the OOC games and Arkansas. Against decent defenses, they broke 20 points twice in 7 games. The joke my Rebel friends are telling is that Longo got 20 miles from the NC state line yesterday and then couldn't get across it, so he's stuck in South Carolina.

He will absolutely kill it against the ****** defenses. And he is in the weaker division of the ACC. But he will always struggle against a decent defense.

Every OC struggles against good defense.

You always come back to points because it suits your agenda. The YARDS were there in every game. They moved through people like water between the 20s, but shut down in the red zone, which is typical when you're playing 7-on-7 because that's literally all you have. Have a bust a big play in the open field or you don't score.

Not like theirs did. He had a lot more talent in the passing game than Moorhead did. But Moorhead's offense threw for more TDs and fewer INT's in SEC games than Longo's did. Osiris Mitchell caught as many TD passes as AJ Brown did. Let that sink in and tell me again how great an OC he is.

You can measure yards all you want to. The objective of offensive football is to score POINTS. Stats are for losers, points are all that matters.

You are certainly throwing out a lot of hand-picked statistics in this thread, to be criticizing them the way you are. A better statement is, stats never lie, but they don't tell the whole truth.

I've explained to you my logical rationale, so we'll have to agree to disagree. But come next year, when OM's offense sucks and they are 2-10, I would imagine we can reconcile this difference of opinion.

Alabama 7-0
LSU 16-3
Arkansas 37-52
Auburn 16-23
Texas A&M 24-28

That's points for them vs us against common opponents. You don't have a point.

I would say that losing Ta'amu, Brown, Lodge, Metcalf, and three OL will play a far bigger role in their demise than Longo's departure.

Southern Illinois- 646 yards
UL Monroe- 826 yards
Kent State- 651 yards

Thats some stat padding **** right there. Their offense is misleading AF on paper.

Versus ranked opponents Ole Miss averaged 301 yards per game. Against unranked opponents it was 615 yards per game. Ole Miss was completely powerless against any team with a pulse.
