We were 117 in total offense last year. But he's got the points wrong. We were 72nd at 27.7/game. I don't know where they get some of these "journalists".

K State looked bad, ISU got better as the game went on. Becht can throw the ball and our DBs are suspect. Their D looked decent as well, athletic linebackers.
If we can run against them, it'll be a game. If not, we're toast.
I trust Phil, just not sure we have the talent at the position. Love to be proven wrong. We'll know in week 2 , ISU will throw against 'em. Indiana in week 4 will show if they've grown. If not, could be a long season.
Ball control is nice, if you score too. So, is there a general assumption that defenses tire before offenses? That would seem to be the underlying logic. I've always thought reducing the number of possessions was a we're not as good so we have to keep the score down to have a shot admission.
Always thought Stanley was underappreciated. He had a bad game against Penn St and that seemed to shadow him. The guy made a lot of plays, won 3 bowls, 2nd all time in passing yards, 2nd in TDs. Not too shabby.
Hard to believe. Maybe he just lost interest. I recall a stat (all beit an old one) that if you were 7ft tall in the US you had a 1 in 3 chance of playing in the NBA.
The CHA project was really f-ed up. They scaled back on the original design despite fundraising not being an issue. How any AD or committee would approve final architectural plans seeing the stands that far from the basketball floor is a mystery.
It was our "Metrodome". Poor compromise design...
