[QUOTE="TechPhi97, post: 147984, member: 158"] Geez man. Take a look at this link: [URL='http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/feioff']Football Outsiders[/URL] We were #1 in adjusted (for opponent) offensive efficiency last year. We were #2 in the percentage of drives that achieved at least one first down (82%). We were #2 in "Available yards", which is yards gained / potential yards based on field position (62%). We were #7 in "methodical drives", those drives that took at least 10 plays (21%). Let me put this into more perspective. If you take all of the years that data is available and Johnson was our coach (2008-2014), of the 127 teams in the data (I deleted Old Dominion because they are only in 2014), Coach Johnson's offenses rank 4th in efficiency. Our average efficiency rank is 4th in all of college football. Here are the numbers: Rank / School / Average / Max / Min 1. Alabama (7.71/16/3) 2. Oregon (9.29/20/3) 3. Oklahoma (19.29/60/1) 4. Georgia Tech (20.29/41/1) 5. Georgia (21.00/37/8) Looking at the actual efficiency scores for that same time period, we average 3rd in college football: 1. Alabama (.52) 2. Oregon (.50) 3. Georgia Tech (.42) 4. Baylor (.41) 5. Oklahoma (.39) Now, we are more variable - the standard deviation on our efficiency score is .29. In the Top 10, only Baylor's is higher (.40) and Texas A&M is slightly less (.28). We are the 16th most variable team overall (out of 127). Other highly variable teams are Auburn, Baylor, UCLA, Florida (go Muschamp!), South Carolina, and Michigan. What all of this tells me is that coach Johnson has put one of the most effective offenses on the field over the past 7 football seasons in all of college football. Or we could just use total yards as a means of measuring the effectiveness of an offense. Alabama and Oregon are clearly, clearly ahead of everyone else in this regard and if we want to take a step towards them then we must figure out how to reduce the impact during our off years. 2010 (41st), 2013 (38th), and 2012 (26th) were our worst years. In 2010, Nesbitt got hurt in the middle of the season. 2012 was Tevin's last year and Vad played sporadically 2013 was Vad's year. [/QUOTE]
