Imo, in this thread and others (I've read and posted in) any questioning of the continuing inability of the offense to score enough points to consistently win is met with resistance as if you're directly challenging Babers and then devolves into a coaching change thread and how much better we're doing now. The metric used to show how much better we're doing is usually total offense which completely discounts pace of play/number of plays/possessions per game. Very few want to discuss yards per play or points per possession which is a great way to compare efficiency between different years and teams with different styles of play.

In this thread, our lack of offensive production in points per game(adjusted for the number of plays we run) is now being explained as a failure of defensive/special teams point production.

My overriding point was/is that this team needs to average 35-37 points per game at this pace to be consistently good.  If not, it is my belief we will remain a .500 or worse team. So while I wholeheartedly agree that things are moving in the right direction I also see that, statistically speaking, the offense has not done enough to this point in the season.

I greatly value the team getting to 6 wins this year and a bowl game and I believe in order to do so the offense needs to have some of it's best games in the last 3. Here's hoping it all comes together.
