You know, the more I think about this, the more I start to feel really TOed.

Not just because we are the only P5 team that plays our home games in a controlled environment so we have unique, attractive things to offer really good offensive players, but because for all of the scoring everyone else is doing that we're not, we still have people thinking that the answer is for us to go heavy on tight ends and fullbacks and try to play smashmouth, grind it out football.

The people in Syracuse would have no idea what to do if they saw an offense every week that averaged 30 points a game. They'd go ballistic. Probably be confused. And the sad thing is - 30 points per game would rank you 61st in college football right now! 61st isn't really much to aspire to. In 2004, 30 points per game would have given you the 32nd best offense in college football - folks, the game has changed and it happened pretty quickly. We don't realize it because we haven't seen it first hand, but it has.

But hey, you know what, let's run some option, put a fullback in there, go double tight and play ball control and for field position and try to grind and white knuckle our way to the bare minimum for bowl qualification in our pristine playing conditions while everyone scores more TDs in 4 games than we do in a season.
