Our offensive struggles, in a single depressing tweet

MORE FUN WITH STATS: James Conner has scored 21 touchdowns. The Syracuse offense has scored 20.


Whether you blame injuries, scheme, play calling, or a combination of these, it is clear that even an average offense would've probably gotten us to bowl eligibility. But the SU offense has been much, much worse than average, and 4-6 Pitt's starting running back has more touchdowns than every SU offensive player combined.

And they are still 4-6

It's actually worse than that. The offense only has 16 touchdowns (6 passing and 10 rushing), and that includes the touchdown from Riley Dixon on the trick play. The defense has scored 4 times. God, that's painful to look at.

The 2008 abomination had 11 rushing and 11 passing TD's.

The Greg P didn't make a difference offense had 15 and 16

Ryan Nassib year one had 14 and 19,

Year two, 10 and 23,

Year three 13 and 26.

I've been saying this for weeks. If our offense was #60 vs what it is #108 - we'd be bowling.

Also - thankfully it's our defense vs their offense.

They are not great on defense, but we are so bad on offense it won't be enough. But if folks think Conner is just going to run us over - they haven't seen us play.

With 7 losses, it wouldn't surprise me if our defense isn't quite as motivated as it has been.

Pitt is an odd team, they seem to move the ball, they seem to score, their defense has been ranked in the Top 20 for most of the season in yards allowed, down to #34 at this point which still isn't bad at 351 ypg. Yet they keep losing games. 90 yard average differential between offense and defense.

I think this is the week a lot of that stuff comes together for them. Just don't see us having a very good day Saturday. 3 TD loss if you asked me to guess.

wow, dear god.

With your 1st string QB out, OC demoted, 2nd string QB out, 3rd string QB hurt, and 4th string QB seeing time... not to mention 2 starting WRs out most of the year, a makeshift line, one of the hardest schedules in the country... What else would you expect?

Jeebus, 16 scores on offense in a year...

And Pitt still sucks.

A below average offense could have beat Clemson and possibly Duke with the way our D played in those games. Even Maryland would have been a possibility since we had a Pick 6 in the red zone - a 14 point swing at that point in the game might have made a big difference.

There is no word to accurately describe the ineptitude of this offense.

The season on offense has been highlighted by a tale of 2 pick sixes - despite the injuries and ineptitude, we score TD's on those drives and odds are we're sitting at 4-6 or maybe even 5-5.

funny i was thinking of posting the same thing when i read that Melvin Gordon had 25 TD's on the season earlier this week.
