Serious question _fan, why does this offense "feel" bad? The stats show that it's pretty decent, but nearly every drive leaves a bad taste in my mouth. There is something unfulfilling. It's possible that it's just I don't like waters, but I don't think that's it. All of Kleins 15 minute drives were more exciting to me.
Dunno
I have no idea.
The top 20 numbers for efficiency I posted only include our FBS games as well, so Stephen F Austin is not included.
The yards per play numbers aren't as good this year (like #33 or something at 6.1 YPP) and we're not quite as explosive, but as long as the efficiency numbers stay solid we're going to win games.
That's the primary problem. We don't seem to have the home run ability that we showed at times last year.
On the flip side, we're 8th in the nation in 3rd down conversion %. We're currently at 50.77% on third down conversions. That's #1 in the Big 12. For comparison, OU is 8th in the league right now in 3rd down conversion % at just over 41%.
If you look at the number of long plays from scrimmage, we're 50th in plays of 10 yards or more and firmly in the 60-90 camp for anything over 20+ yards.
Also, in the last few games, we haven't had to march down the field as much because of how much we're forcing other teams to punt and how good Lockett has been at returning them. Considering that we're #2 in the nation in punt return average (24.7 per return), if it's getting kicked to us, we're going to have good field position, and we're going to sustain drives until we get into the red zone and convert.
