[QUOTE="AE 87, post: 32603, member: 195"] Thanks for the response. If you peruse my postings in this forum or pay attention to my future postings, you'll find that I'm a big fan of stats. However, you have to be careful with your use of stats. I was not cherry picking the stats. Your stats, on the other hand are misleading. For example, the "pass offence" stat that you cite is yards/game. A moment's reflection will reveal that a team that throws the ball 11 times a game won't get as passing yards as a team that throws 50 times. So, if you notice, I didn't cite "rushing offense" stat in which we've been in the top 6 every year but yards/carry. If you look at yards/attempt, we were 20th last year passing, 2nd in 2012, 1st in 2011, (92nd in 2010), 1st in 2009, and 23rd in 2008. Being top 2 in yards/attempt 3 of 6 years and top 25 for 5 of 6 years should not be considered mediocre. This brings us to your Total Offense stat. This stat again reflects yards/game but does not reflect the fact that teams that run the ball more eat-up more clock resulting in fewer plays and fewer possessions (meaning fewer plays and fewer possessions for their opponents as well).
