2005 - 257 ypg / 13.81 ppg
2006 - 264 ypg / 17.41 ppg
2007 - 291 ypg / 16.41 ppg
2008 - 270 ypg / 18.08 ppg
2009 - 330 ypg / 21.16 ppg
2010 - 322 ypg / 22.15 ppg
2011 - 348 ypg / 24.16 ppg
2012 - 476 ypg / 30 ppg
2013 - 376 ypg / 22.69 ppg
2014 - 411 ypg / 21.6 ppg
 
Outside of Nassib senior year (and i am of the school that Nassib was the reason for the offensive output that year) the offensive numbers are close to or better than under Marrone and much better than the GROB years which people have inexplicably begun to compare McDonald's offense.
 
On a numbers standpoint, the mid-season decision to make the demotion call simply isn't justified.  One of the 3 dropped/called back TD's from last game alone would have brought 2014 to 23 ppg which eclipses our average scoring for the last 10 years outside of 2012.  And the numbers don't take into account the questionable (kind word) QB play since 2012 or the key injuries at WR this year. 
 
The only possible rational idea that makes sense to me (outside of McDonalds personality which seemingly rubs alot of people the wrong way) is that Shafer knew McDonalds offense wouldn't work once Hunt was gone so the double change of OC and QB was made simultaneously as we move in a different direction based upon the new personnel.
 
Obviously, I don't agree with the decision especially in light of how it was handled and the aftermath as it makes the program look dysfunctional at a time when we need to look competent and unified.  I think the numbers have to be taken into account as to expectations and where we're coming from and going.  In the passion of it all, I think people seem to forget about those things.
 
LGO!!!!  Shock the world!!!!
