I've been saying it for two seasons because so many people here have trouble grasping the obvious
But it's an explanation why the scoring went down from 2015-2016, not an explanation why the large increase in yards didn't produce the number of points you'd expect from such an increase. I'll put it another way:
In 2015 we scored 34 offensive touchdowns in 12 games on 320 yards per game total offense
In 2016 we scored 39 offensive touchdowns in 12 games on 441 yards per game total offense
In 2017 we have scored 29 offensive touchdowns in 9 games, (which projects to 38 over 12 games) on 456 yards per game total offense.
It's not enough. If we score 9 touchdowns in the next three games, will we win two of them and get to a bowl?
