Last season's scUM offense was widely viewed as one of, if not THE, most inept in m*ch*g*n history. Al Borges received a lions share of the blame for their struggles. Along with a sad sack OL, he was called a "dinosaur" who was stuck in the past. They all crowed when Nussmeier came over from bammer, despite the fact it was widely known nobody in Tuscaloosa was sad to see him go. The results? An even worse offense in 2014:
Passing offense-- 162.8 ypg, 116th nationally
Rushing offense-- 166.6 ypg, 63rd nationally
Total offense-- 329.4 ypg, 117th nationally
Scoring offense-- 20.3 ppg, 114th nationally
They're averaging an astonishingly bad 13.5 ppg against "Power 5" opponents. I guess we can chalk up "man ball" as a MASSIVE fail.
