Offense improved with an influx of talent along the offensive line and a breakout star in Damarea Crockett. Lock was also thrown to the dogs in 2015 so it's hardly a surprise that he did better in 2016 with Heupel as his QB coach and OC.

I just don't think you can get past that secondary. The tackling there is just so bad. I honestly cannot think of one player in that secondary that I have even average expectations for. It's really that bad of a situation.

Good info. Good basis for comparison.

but 2015 was a bad year for the offense. I would hope we could improve on 9 PPG. It would be pretty cool if they get back towards the 2013 offense.

Where are you getting your numbers?
