Total Offense/Defense Rankings Since Morris

Postby Stallion » Sun Oct 22, 2017 12:14 pm

TOTAL OFFENSE: yards/national rank
2014: 269 yards (127)
---------
2015: 383 yards (76)
2016: 427 yards (55)
2017: 496 yards (13)

TOTAL DEFENSE: yards/national rank
2014: 499 yards (122)
--------
2015: 502 yards (119)
2016: 453 yards (103) but arguably better because of increase in Turnovers
2017: 437 yards (104)

painfully slow improvement on defense but we are 65 yards per game better than Year 1

NET IMPROVEMENT under Morris v the Mad Sockless Canadian +292 per game

To be fair to Malone, they were forced to focus on the offense in the first recruiting clasS and lost Corbett before he even practiced.

Right-and we signed ZERO CBs in 2015 which is killing us now because we are relying on inexperienced CBs opposite Wyatt

In fact we have improved in Net Yards from scrimmage (Offense and Defense-+292 yards) by more than Total Offense per Game in 2014 (269 yards).

I'd also like to point out that we took one of our highly-touted safety prospects and turned him into an All-American WR. Think that switch might have something to do with the differences in production on each side of the ball?

on the flip side - if our defense is the same as last year, but our schedule is much easier - than I would say we moved backwards.

Glad to be 5-2. Winning is fun, brings better recruits and eventually more butts in seats.

It is unfair to compare CM to tiki as tik was handcuffed by a narrow-minded administration which refused to hire the psycho, umm psychic professors necessary to run a successful offense in this conference.

Tiki (JJ) is a washed up turd. So glad he’s gone!

The funny part of June's decades long Brain-type crusade is that he admitted that he had never coached a QB with the specific superior Brain-type-outrecruited I'm sure

Is the defense better or has the offense improved enought to deny opponents one possession? One possession could account for the -65 yards difference.

Looks like the Canadians don't even want June...

June Jones, once dubbed the worst coach in America, is now coaching Canada’s worst team

We should take a look at the juco or grad transfer market for CB's this upcoming off season. Need more experienced depth and competition there.
