Seriously? Could it get much worse than last year? Expecting the Offense to carry it’s fair share of the load is not unreasonable and does not make you a BF hater.What are the metrics you will accept as quality performance from the offense. How many ppp/ypp etc..?

Nice post.Not a Brian hater. Somewhere on the fence because I do feel he is handcuffed somewhat by Kirk's conservative philosophy. He's had games of brilliance (USC '19 and OSU '17 off the top of my head) and games that make me shake my head.
If we had a terrible defense, my expectations would be different. We'd need to score 40 to win. Thankfully we don't have a terrible defense. We need less from our offense. Kirk doesn't need to risk 40 passes a game. You could argue passing 40 times isn't that risky if your offense can back it up, but we're not winning that argument with KF.
Having said all that:
*above 60% passing completion
*30 ppg (including defense tds and great field position opportunities we get from TOs)
*400 ypg
*32/28 TOP
*4-5 down field throws per game. I don't even care if they are complete... check that, I do care, I just think you have to go for a homerun at least a few times in a game, especially when teams have 8 within 8 yards of the LOS as often as they do.
To some here it sure does! Makes you a fake fan tooSeriously? Could it get much worse than last year? Expecting the Offense to carry it’s fair share of the load is not unreasonable and does not make you a BF hater.
Impossible to answer right now, which was already answered3 posts in. Offense was bad last year. Answer the question.
Anything better than last year. The stats you post are point less, how can you come up with those? I think everyone just want's a show of improvement. Mainly, QB and OL, if that happens, yes it should be better.What are the metrics you will accept as quality performance from the offense. How many ppp/ypp etc..?
I agree with this but I would say for the down-the-field throws, 20+ yards per attempt, at least to test the secondary. Makes the run support a little less easy for opponents. I would also add at least 180 yards rushing per game (top 50), with 200 preferable (top 25). For a team that predicates it's offence on being balanced, it was anything but last year.Not a Brian hater.

Indeed. I mean look at those 2nd and 10 calls the last 5 games of the year!!For a team that predicates it's offence on being balanced, it was anything but last year.
Points per possession and yards per play are pointless? Huh?Anything better than last year. The stats you post are point less, how can you come up with those? I think everyone just want's a show of improvement. Mainly, QB and OL, if that happens, yes it should be better.
Exactly. Look at the offensive numbers. Yards gained.Indeed. I mean look at those 2nd and 10 calls the last 5 games of the year!!
I don't want to, they're prolly very offensiveExactly. Look at the offensive numbers. Yards gained.

If we had a terrible defense we'd be a sub .500 program the past several years. BF should be giving PP half of his paycheck every week. It's all on the D to win us these games.Not a Brian hater.

FIFYThis right here...imagine if Iowa's D was around 60th last year...the 10 win season would have been 3-9.
A top 60 offense.What are the metrics you will accept as quality performance from the offense. How many ppp/ypp etc..?
I like top 60…Definitely on rushing and scoring.Last year's O rankings:
Passing O: #109
Rushing O: #102
Scoring O: #99
Total O: #121
That's just f*cking embarrassing. If you want a metric from me I'd say finish in the top-60 in Scoring O as well as two of the remaining three categories.
Or the rest of the offense. We’ve been mediocre on offense with good lines. Multiple problems.I like top 60…Definitely on rushing and scoring.
Comes down to having some Dudes on the Line.
No excuse for our O-Line to be this inept.
If we had an awesome offense and terrible defense we'd probably be .500 too.If we had a terrible defense we'd be a sub .500 program the past several years. BF should be giving PP half of his paycheck every week. It's all on the D to win us these games.
Iowa will have an 11 win regular season with those offensive numbers. Ten wins last year with the worst offense Iowa has put on the field in what seems like decades.Rushing: 38 Attempts 4.8 ypc = 182.4 yds per game, 2.2 TDs/game
Passing: 18/29 = 62% 210 yds. 7.2 yds per attempt, 1.5 TDs/game, 7 or less ints
Total yards = 392.4
Notes: this would only require completing 2 more passes a game than last year, but for 30 more yards.
Total yards would put us about 70th.
45th in rushing
88th in passing.
(side note, interestingly Alabama was 88th in rush at only 150/game 4.1 avg. very good passing numbers tho)
Probably finish no worse than 8-4 with 9-3 more likely I would think.
These seem like reasonable numbers to me.
Holy shit. Those Brian numbers are ridiculously bad. 88 is his best year. Greg Davis was rightfully fired for basically having the same numbers. It’s year 6. It’s time to do something.Here is the ranking out of the total number of FBS teams based on total offense, and the team's OC for that season.

Brian's also had much more offensive talent to work with than Davis did.Holy shit. Those Brian numbers are ridiculously bad. 88 is his best year. Greg Davis was rightfully fired for basically having the same numbers. It’s year 6. It’s time to do something.
