Year 19 and we have the worst offense in football

[hawkinn3]

Maybe there are a few teams who are worse by numbers but at that level it’s semantics. We are beyond terrible.

I don't think our offensive rankings will improve this week. Definitely not the rushing ranking or the scoring ranking. We'll see...

It has been ranked in the 80’s or worse for what seems like a decade now.

This is what it was before today's game.

Total Offense: 115th
Scoring Offense: 80th
Passing Offense: 85th
Rushing Offense: 102nd
Mean Ranking: 95.5th

We’d need to score 200 points next week to be 80s

I think my favorite stat today was when we snapped a streak of not converting our last 17 3rd downs. That says a lot about the current state of Our program and where we are as an offense.

How much is BF being paid per third down conversion this year?

This is nothing new.

Worst season on record.

The fat cats year of 2006 was the last time the offense was in the top 50. And all the extensions came after that.

Good rushing numbers today (47 carries for 313 yards). This will skew things a bit. Overall, inconsistency was the consistent theme.

Just to be clear, that post wasn't looking after today's game. It was looking after all of last Saturday's games were complete.

Yep. I was just pointing out how one great game (today) can skew numbers to look better than they have been all year. Actually, 2 games (OSU and Nebraska) really does that. That's why yards/point differential sometimes doesn't tell the whole story of a season. The inconsistency has been frustrating to say the least - even though today and OSU were fun.

We would have if KF/BF wouldn't have taken his/their foot off the gas.
