245 passing ypg
178.8 rushing ypg

Compare to 2014 season:
#127 in total offense

Future is bright, my fellow ponyfans.

And if we would play the second half, we would be #16?

And we might should add, that is after playing 3 undefeated teams, 2 of which are in the top 5 in the country.
We may have a ton of work to do on D, but that was a pretty amazing one year offensive turnaround, especially since we have the same O line as last years pitiful offense.

That's what I have wondered about. I'm not sure we'll stop anyone, but it will be interesting to see what kind of 60-59 shootouts we get in when we see teams with lesser defenses.

Since we scored 31 against UNT (everyone's new worst team in the country), 23 against ECU and 28 against Houston, not sure why you're expecting us to score 59-60 against anyone?

The offense has obviously improved, but is very erratic at best, at this point.

Since we beat Uconn in 2014 and UNT in 2015, we beat the worst team in the country in successive years.

Absolutely, millions of miles! Morris and the offensive staff have done a great job, although I'm still a little confused why the offense has disappeared in the second half of the last 2 games.
