Offensive Production needs to turn into points

[Buffnik]

Slightly misleading as your Scoring Offense is based on a "per game" calculation, but the others are based on "total production". Our Scoring Offense is #84 per game, but #66 overall.

Revised:

Passing Yards/Game = #31
Rushing Yards/Game = #72
Total Yards/Game = #51
Points Scored/Game = #84

I think the numbers still support your position though.

Why is that misleading? Some teams have only played 3 games this year, so "per game" is the only relevant comparison.

these numbers show CU is improving. Something most everyone said they wanted to see this year. We are not where we want to be, but improvement is happening under HCMM.

Go back and look at your original post. The rankings that you posted on the passing offense, rushing offense, and total offense were from an aggregate yardage perspective, not from a yds/game perspective. The scoring ranking was a ppg ranking.

Gotcha. That is misleading. Rep.

We need to be North of 30 pts. to win PAC games, offense isn't there yet but I keep hoping.

I don't think it's a good idea to compare our rankings to last year quite yet, unless you're looking at where we were through 4 games last year.

I don't think anyone needs reminded as to what our season long numbers included. We still have to play most of the teams that pushed our rankings down.

(Unless everyone is actually looking at rankings through the first four games last year.)

The only reason it may be relevant is because everyone's kind of in the same boat of having played its non-conference games so far with maybe a conference game mixed in. Except for the non P5 schools, relative strength of opponents is about the same for everyone and will remain the same for everyone. These numbers are national ranks, after all, not simple productivity of the Buffs team. In other words, we may get fewer yards and give up more yards as the season progresses, but all the other P5 schools should too.

it is like a chess match out there. Every game is going to be different and game planned for just as differently. We are all looking into all these scewed stats way to much.

indiana just beat mizzou
lsu lost to ms st
boise smoked csu
nubs should have lost to mkneese freakn state
unc rolled by ecu
bc beat usc
grandfather time should have beat auburn

shall i continue?

case in point: Oregon v. WSU last week. Everybody's road is harder now.
