make a bowl game. So the idea that now our primary concern is not being able to win a shootout should probably be a sign of our great progress since last year rather than an indictment on the team.

Obviously we can and should be playing better offensively. My point is only that I don’t think the offense is really intended to put up gaudy numbers and instead we should be looking to efficiency indicators to determine how good the offense is, relative to its potential.
