Former Auburn quarterback, Woody Barrett, announced on Twitter that he will sign with the Golden Flashes. Last season, Barrett played at Copiah-Lincoln (MS) Community College where he completed 100-of-201 passes for 1,294 yards with eight touchdowns and three interceptions while adding 121 carries for 485 rushing yards and six touchdowns with 11 fumbles, six of which were lost.
How does Barrett's JUCO stats compare to Julian Edelman's stats before he transferred to Kent State? At the College of San Mateo, Edelman threw for 1,312 yards and 14 touchdowns, rushed for a school-record 1,253 yards and 17 touchdowns.
In his freshman year (2001), Cribbs threw for 1,516 yards with 10 touchdowns and 5 interceptions, rushed for 1,019 yards and 5 touchdowns for the Flashes (see web address below for complete stats).
When comparing Barrett to Edelman and Cribbs, it appears that he is not as good at rushing as he is at passing. However, in a Dino Babers/Sean Lewis uptempo offense, expect Barrett to pass the ball much more than either Edelman or Cribbs. The intent of Baber's uptempo offense is to stress the opponent out with the passing game (see web address below).
Matt Johnson, who will be the Flashes' offensive quality control coach, passed for 3,467 yards and 25 touchdowns, and rushed for 238 yards as a redshirt sophomore at Bowling Green in 2013. His 2014 season was cut short by a broken hip in the first game of the season against Western Kentucky. As a senior in the 2015 season, Johnson completed 383 passes of 569 passes for 4,946 yards with 46 touchdowns, eight interceptions and rushed for 159 yards.
If a Babers/Lewis uptempo offense is similar to the one Babers had at Bowling Green, expect to see a pass first game with a 55-45 pass-run ratio. A Babers/Lewis wide open offense runs from an extra wide spread formation, that features a no huddle, up tempo pace, running 85 plays per game. With Johnson at quarterback, Bowling Green averaged 8.9 yards per pass attempt and 4.6 yards per rush for an average of 6.7 yards per play. The Falcons averaged .5 punts per score - tied for the lowest in the nation against FBS teams (see web addresses below).
In Lewis' first year, I don't expect the Flashes to be nearly as productive as the Falcons but Lewis will attempt to implement the Bowling Green offense nevertheless.
