SMU is #32 in total offense in 6 games:

424 ypg
245 passing ypg
178.8 rushing ypg
30.8 ppg

Compare to 2014 season:
#127 in total offense
269 ypg
168.7 passing ypg
100.3 rushing ypg
11.1 ppg

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.

But is miles better than our defense. Surely you agree football dad.

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.
