sdk.catfish said:And my first post said something along the lines of it's not necessarily a recipe for winning but if you can't admit that stitt has a great offense then you are a bitter biased fan. The argument is about his offense.
I'm not sure that pointing out that the team scoring 16 against EWU, 25 against N. Colorado and 17 against the Cats is not necessarily a prolific (in your terms great) offense means that I or others are bitter biased fans. It's kind of like 75 getting called a douche-bag for pointing out some incongruities between what some players may have said and the actual product we witnessed during the second half of the season. It would be nice if there could be differing opinions without the excess baggage.
That argument is so bad though. Every year has bad offensive games. The best offenses in the history of football have games where they don't put up 50+ points. Every single year has bad point games for the Griz or any other team.
Here....
2002 - 21 points against EWU, 7 against MSU, 20 against Mcneese in losses. 13 against ISU, 21 against Hofstra in wins
2003 - 24 against NDSU, 20 against MSU in losses. 12 against Weber, 17 against Cal Poly in wins
2004 - 21 points against JMU in champ loss.
2005 - 14 points against Oregon, 20 points against EWU, 6 points against MSU, 21 points against Cal Poly in losses. 7 Points against SDSU, 23 points against NAU, 24 points against Weber in wins.
2006 - 7 points against Iowa, 17 points against UMass in both losses of season. 10 points against CP, 13 against MSU, and 20 against S illinois in wins
2007 - 22 points against Wofford in our only loss. 18 against Weber, 17 against Sac, 21 against NAU in wins
2008 - 28 points against Weber, 7 points against Richmond in only losses of season. 19 against EWU, 24 against Weber in wins.
2009 - 21 points against Nova in our only loss. 17 points against UC Davis, 12 against ISU, 24 against App State in wins
After this is considered the downfall of the football program. Every single one of these years, including 2004, had worse offensive production than this year. It's actually not even close. This last years offense put up better numbers than any griz team in 20 years. AGAIN NOT SAYING IT'S A RECIPE FOR WINNING. Just saying.. we moved the ball better than we have in years.
