Since our offense is very fast, as was our defense this year, I tried to find pace-adjusted rankings. Non-adjusted stats are misleading.

As per [URL='http://www.adjustedstats.com/ratings-stats/cfbofftotaladj.php']adjustedstats(dot)com[/URL], our 2016 points per possession rank is 76/128, putting us slightly below average. Our 2015 points per possession rank was 36/128 (up from 112 in 2014).

As per [URL='http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/ncaaoff']footballoutsiders(dot)com[/URL], our 2016 our offensive rank (Off. S&P+ rank) was 68. Our 2015 rank was 61 (up from 110 in 2014).

The adjustedstats jump to 36 seems very high, but not impossible. The other metric weights field position/yardage and opponent, so they aren't necessarily apples to apples, but there should be a correlation.

But on the bright side, our offense is GOLD for any kid who wants more footage for his highlight tape (esp WR's and QB's), so there should be a recruiting uptick (although there isn't evidence of that happening yet). And, just having the right players with the right mentality/body type should lead to better results - even if all other factors stay the same.
