There are so many. We are scoring 17.1 ppg in conference games. After ND it likely will be even worse. But using the current number if we scored 175% that next year we still would be scoring less than 30 ppg and be no better than 7th in conference (assuming ND does not join for good). Is scoring 175% our current number even realistic? If we can pull that off then we likely make a Bowl. If we cannot, we will have a losing season. BTW scoring 150% (still might be hard to achieve) puts us in a tie for 11th (minus ND).

If you compare our passing with Dungey, we avg'd 287.4 ypg over those 3 years and all 3 years were within 5 yard of that number so little variance. This year we are at 167.8 so we basically need 175% our current number to be at what we were with Dungey. How that happening? Even getting our numbers up to 2019 will not be good enough to make a Bowl game.

Rushing yards we are at 76.2 per game. Last year's O was not good enough yet it is nearly twice as many yards per game as this year. So we can achieve 150% of this year and still stink.

If ND takes mercy on us we could realistically end up 12th out of 15 in conference play in regards to sacks allowed per game. Crazy that our OL gets trashed by many here but there are others teams dealing with the same and not as bad as us.

For an O system that prides itself on going fast and getting in as many plays as possible, we likely will have the least amount of plays in conference games this year. The next lowest is nearly 8 plays ahead of us.
