Looks like we’re averaging 144 yards rushing (463-318) per game this year vs 2008’s 148 yards. If we keep improving there too - wow, should be fun watching the trajectory.

You could pick any Robinson era offense and find stuff like that

 

[djorange1989]

but our coach in 2008 was so much better........

Huh?

 

[billsin01]

But those '08 numbers are decieving ...

 

[TheCusian]

You’ll here from the yards per play folks, but I think both are important. At some point you have to look at all that yardage and say “they have to defend us all 400+ yards at tempo”

Or Marrone* or Shafer or P...

*except year #4, 2012, maybe

 

[Chip]

I still don’t know how that team beat Louisville and ND.

When I think Cam Dantley to Donte Davis, I think offense offense offense.

Donte Davis was alright.

It's just that he was alright on a team that had nothing else.

 

[Chip]

Donte Davis was alright.

It's just that he was alright on a team that had nothing else.

He probably would have looked better if Mike Williams didn’t cheat on his finals.

They were the best of times.

 

[Trueblue25]

Lets lock 2008 in its coffin, drop it in its hole, and never revisit it again.

Art Jones beat ND!

Running a college offense works in college, who knew ha

Cfbstats goes back to 2008, so I picked that. 2005 might've been more horrific

 

[creatorsgam]

Give me Van Chew in this offense!

 

[raf4488]

Give me Van Chew in this offense!

Taj Smith would look good too. I still remember being in the Dome when he broke his collarbone. That whole era sucked so bad

 

[OrangeTarheel]

14 first downs. The marching band had some free time on their hands.

Or Walter Reyes or Delone Carter with teams having to respect the passing game.

 

[Chip]

Art Jones beat ND!

Probably the only time I’ve seen a 20 yard loss on a sack and it didn’t involve a penalty. QB just kept running backwards and Art would not be denied.

 

[OrangeMojo]

270 ypg - ugghhhh :bat:

god I hated those years

You must have blacked out the Troy Nunes era.

Who is he?

The player millhouse was screaming he wanted to marry.
