Sean White played in 11 games this year. Even with the injuries and throwing numerous passes with a broken wing and no business being in the game, he was:
64% for 1,679 yds. 9 TD's and 3 INT's with a 143.1 passer rating. If Auburn, as a team, is healthy and we're running the ball, he fit the offense perfectly. And yes, the O was adjusted to fit his strengths. No square peg in a round hole. He ran just enough to make it all that much more effective. Nick Marshall ran it 172 and 153 times respectively. White ran it 55 times and with subtracting the sack yardage out, he was pretty damn good.
Agree with you to a point, I still don't get the people bagging on White. I don't give a fuck what the stats are or how he does it, the kid won us games. Oh and btw his stats were good. I do get the fact he hasn't finished a season and yes that is a problem, he himself admits that.
But I disagree with you that Gus tailored his offense to SW. To me it's kind of a mix between you and CCTAU are saying. Because CCTAU and I have been saying the same thing since Nick Marshall left we have been running the zone read. Yes we ran the Zone Read with Cam but not to the extent we did with Marshall. Gus prior to Marshall seemed like he could make changes and adapt his offense, since Marshall graduated that has not been the case IMHO.
