Against FBS (throw out URI) with Lester as OC

Against top 10 teams (FSU last year, LSU and Clemson this year)
338 ypg
23.7 ppg
5.3 yards per play

Against everyone else
291 ypg
19.3 ppg (which includes OT, defense, kick returns)
4.7 yards per play

percentage difference
vs top 10 teams, they're 16% better in yards per game, 23% better in points per game, 13% better in yards per play

This really makes no sense.  Dungey is a good passer. Good passing should matter.  But these three games were with Long and Mahoney.  Long was a breath of fresh air against FSU but it still wasn't a great game.   16-27 for 167, 2 td and 2 int is fine for a freshman against FSU in his first game but it's not something you build a statue over.

if you just compare 2015 non top 10 vs 2014-15 top ten, it's about even (more YPG vs top 10, a hair less points due to defense and OT, and a hair fewer yards per play)

Our QB rating vs LSU 2015 , FSU 2014 and Clemson 2015 (top 10) is 99.

If your offense is better when your qb rating is worse, something is off.
