Overall Baylor's offense thrived in the first three years. The 2nd year, RG III was injured for the last 8 games, so that skews the numbers a bit as they were playing with a third stringer. Here's a comparison I did a couple of weeks ago:

[B]Baylor Before Briles[/B]
2005: 23 PPG
2006: 23 PPG
2007: 18 PPG

[B]With Briles[/B]
2008: 27 PPG
2009: 21 PPG
2010: 31 PPG

For comparison's sake, lets look at SU's point output over the past three years:

[B]Orange[/B]
2013: 23 PPG
2014: 17 PPG
2015: 27 PPG

If Babers could add nine points per game to SU's output, like Briles did in his first year, well... wow. That would be a 19 point increase in a two year period for SU. That would be nearly unprecedented. I think adding 4 to 5 points a game could be doable though. If he did add 9 points per game that would have put us at 26th in the country in 2015. Out of the top 26 teams in the country in scoring in 2015, only two had losing records. And those losing records were 6-7. All 26 made bowl games.

A 4 or 5 point increase would put us at right around 50th in the country. We were 77th in reality in 2015. How did that Briles guy do at Baylor after we stop tracking him in 2010? His team lead the nation in scoring this year at 48.1 PPG.
