We were making our way back from the beach yesterday, so I couldn't attend the atrocity. I got to listen to the slow-motion train wreck via Dave and Teddy...I felt as though I was there!

Anyway, it made me wonder, just how bad is this year's Tech O. How does it rank in the pantheon of Skip's Tech offenses. Are they truly the most offensive? You tell me.

As you can see, so far, this is the lowest YPG total...granted, we still have two 1 win teams left to play. Of interest, the biggest statistical difference between this year and all others is that our rushing yards are WAY down. Smith is clearly at a lower level than everybody except young Higgins, but, so far, his YPG are the same as last year, yet we're averaging 50 fewer YPG. The Strength of Schedule just shows you how abysmal our conference is.

We've played some real stinker games this year, but we DO have two close wins (games last year's team would've lost). What does that mean? I think it means we're a little older. At times, our OL looks as bad as our QB. Surely, the QB is indecisive and is being asked to make WAY too many decisions. I'm left where I'm often left....wondering why we show so little creativity in our offensive play calling. Our talent level is what it is. Why aren't we maximizing their potential?
