You really want the stats? Back out the non-power 5 teams from each year, you have the below:
Total Rush Yards: 2018 - 1039 / 2019 - 1132
Total Pass Yards: 2018 - 1202 / 2019 - 961
Total Offensive Yards: 2018 - 2241 / 2019 - 2093
Total Rushing Attempts: 2018 - 206 / 2019 - 195
Yards Per Carry: 2018 - 5 / 2019 - 5.8
Total Passing Attempts: 2018 - 131 / 2019 - 142
Total Passing Completions: 2018 - 83 / 2019 - 96
Pass Completion Percentage: 2018 - 63% / 2019 - 68%
Stack up pretty evenly if you ask me. Sure, we don't pass the 'eye test' and look as sexy as we expected to be. But this team was a quarter away from the CFP last year, with the same statistical summary that we have today...with less experience and musical chairs at several positions because of injuries.
Do I think we still have meat on the bones? Absolutely, I think we've left a lot of points on the board. But we have, as Kirby put it, stubbed our toes so many times. Better play calling here or there, better execution more consistently...and guess what? We'd be outpacing last year and we wouldn't have a loss.
But it's football...you have to play the games and execute well enough to win.

There are cupcakes every year, so we can take that out of the equation. It's the eye test that we're failing right now.
I'm seeing less hurry up this year, and less moving of the pocket. I've also seen a bit more inside running and less edge/outside running (until UK game), which was the bread and butter last year. Less of the passing is over the middle and we seem to be utilizing the TE even less this year than last.
The blocking schemes are similar: zone and iso almost exclusively. The outside zone seems to work very well with a Swift because you move the defenders more and his vision & cutback ability help him exploit the seams that movement creates. I'd like to see more traps for the inside runs which would better set up quick play-action over the middle, but we didn't see much of that last year either.
Overall, there is also a bit less flexibility in the scheme. It could be a result of inexperience either from the coordinator or the receivers, but it's there.
Question, though. Is last year's team really the goal? With a 3rd year starter at QB and a veteran line, I think this year's team should be a little better. Instead it's a little worse. Gotta admit that's a dissapointment.
