I love the stats. I think step 1 in where we went wrong having high expectations is that most of these numbers are more or less the same as they were the year before when Howard supposedly played well. The simple fact of the matter is that he was never a good or even average offensive player. He showed flashes of nice passing vision early on (I want to say maybe his sophomore year?), but his A:T ratio was identically bad as a junior and senior and he was always among the least efficient scorers in the country.

This same kind of study would paint Brissett, another guy that people thought played well a year ago in a similarly poor light. They were both laughably bad offensive players the past two seasons and yet we depended on them offensively more than anyone else besides Battle (and maybe Hughes this season).

The offensive system itself is pretty bad, but it's also made worse by the fact that over the past two years, we've built the offense around 3 guys, 2 of which are terrible offensive players.
