Kinda hard to look nationally due to variances in scheduling. If you compare ACC teams in YPP vs FBS teams...

2022 8th (we had 2 OOC P5 games too)
2021 12th
2020 15th
2019 10th
2018 7th
2017 10th
2016 10th

2015 12th
2014 12th (2 OOC P5s)
2013 11th (2 OOC P5s)

It is a slight improvement vs Shafer but not significant. But that is why we are onto our 4th OC of the Dino era. This year given the schedule is pretty good.

2017 10th
2016 11th

2015 11th
2014 13th
2013 11th

So basically if we get an offense that is just above league avg we can compete in the ACC. If we added a Dline that was just a small bit bigger or an oline that could block we could win the thing..

And I think we have to factor in the short-term influence of two horrendous passing performances, back-2-back, and how that might skew the numbers. Could get worse before it gets better, with FSU coming up. But it doesn't look like either Wake nor BC can stop anybody, so the numbers might trend better after the final two games.

It takes time. We might not see the true benefits until year 2 in the offense.

I'm more optimistic than that.

We saw immediate benefit early in the season. We just haven't been able to sustain it.

 

[upperdeck]

Life as a QB gets much easier with top end WRs running free. The 2 easiest passes we had all game vs Pitt were missed TDs. But we clearly need to figure out how to get more elite guys at the outside skill spots to take the offense up a notch. if we had a top end WR then OG would not be betting tripled at key spots in the game

YAY MORE WAITING!

(I understand your post/point)

Anaes offense in year 2 was leaps better than year 1, during his tenure at UVA

Actually year 2 was probably worse.

2016 they were 12th in PPG in ACC games. 2017 they were 11th, 2018 11th, 2019 5th, 2020 10th, 2021 4th. This season so far is better than 4 of his 6 UVA Os.

Using YPP they were 13th in 2016, 2017 14th, 2018 7th, 2019 7th, 2020 10th, 2021 2nd. This season so far is better than 5 of his 6 UVA Os.

Really 2021 is looking like an outlier. What we have seen this year is pretty much what you get.

 

[djorange1989]

as good of a job has been done in recruiting and developing depth on defense(yes, we need to sacrifice a bit of the speed that TW loves on the line to get bigger guys who aren't as lightning fast, guys who have both go to Alabama and Georgia ), recruiting and developing the offense has been an issue for a long time. Tucker obviously is amazing, he clearly has multiple injuries this year, started with Louisville the first half of the first game. OG2 has been great this year, and a healthy GS has improved a lot. We have 329 WRs on the roster and only OG2 and Jones are exciting to me. the TE position is a blackhole of stink, the OL is a big veteran group that is soft and underachieving. Besides finding a big DT, the rest of the offseason should be spent hitting the portal for help at OL, WR and TE.

Not saying Anae is this offensive genius but let’s keep in mind that he has coached at Acc schools that are bottom tier in terms of overall athletes in the conference.

This may be a dumb question, but does YPP correlate to broader offensive success? I would think so, but I don’t know.

 

[SWC75]

It's all about the offensive line:

Just like in basketball, there's a lot of big guys but who gets the good big guys? With rare exceptions, it's not us.

I'm sure there are better ways that differentiate between more consistent offenses with better success rates but I think it's good enough to be predictive and it's transparent

I think of it like on base percentage. Teams that are better at not making outs and getting outs tends to be the better teams. Don't make outs and you get the scoreboard result eventually, same with yards and plays
