[QUOTE="RamblinWreck92, post: 434452, member: 1357"] Meh, so much of that stat gets inflated from our 63-0 Alcorn ST blowouts where we put up 500+ rushing yards. If you look at the numbers we put up against the "good teams on the schedule", they're seldom very different from what other offenses are putting up. In the case of Clemson, both Syracuse and Weak Forest put up more pts than we did last year so it's clear that this scheme no longer gives us the competitive advantage its supporters think it does. I will say this though - if we just threw 10 more passes/game, I'd be more accepting of it. If you look at stats, you'll also see that we've had 2 years in the last 10 where we've had a WR avg at least 3 catches/game for the season. Thomas in 2009 and Smelter in 2014. 2009 and 2014. I don't believe that's coincidence, do you? Because we have an A-Back Flavor of the Month getting 1000 rushing yds+ (or the QB) every year. This offense absolutely must pass the ball better to win more than 6 games and the stats and records bear that out. [/QUOTE]
