[QUOTE="jgtengineer, post: 333133, member: 3094"] Production didn't really drop last year, we had FAR fewer drives that we have in the past. Part of that was ironically our defense didn't do a lot of breaking and the only footrace game we had we had what 4 drives stall in the redzone against UNC. Basically last year we were extremely explosive on offense ( think about the virginia and VT games where we had many tds of over 50 yards.) and very bendy on defense. Rather than our offense scoring quick and then thiers scoring fast and possessions going up our defense would allow a 13-14 play drive that ate up the clock, and either force a field goal or surrender the TD then we would turn around and score fast and it begin again. Our numbers last year were pretty much in line with 2008 when we death marched all over the field and had a defense with a bit better track record of getting of the field. In 2014, arguably our best year statistically we had a defense that got a lot of turnovers giving our offense short fields for quick drives combined with an offense that was explosive. People are scoring more points in general in games now thanks to the proliferation of the spread and the weakening of defenses in some of the conferences(big 12, pac, g5's) so we are always going to be on the low end of scoring offense simply because we shorten games. The only team that had both a top 10 scoring offense and top 10 scoring defense last year was Washington. Typically the highest scoring offenses had lower ranked scoring defenses. which yielded more drives. Food for thought our scoring defense last year was 39. in 2014 it was 53rd [/QUOTE]
