The most obvious is that you can play 14 games in a season now compared to 12 under cholly Mac. So ppg is more relevant. Not all points are from O, particularly last year, special teams and D make a difference. So even ppg is skewed because of avg starting position. Last years team had awesome ppg but we all know the O was average at best. Than you have the issue of rules and offensive style of play in different eras.
it's not just about #s and stats. Gotta look at the whole picture. Watch the game and see how the scores actually happen.
To hold any preseason comment by Les about his line against him is unreal and foolish. Three count them 3 starters were lost for the season during the year. This includes Chris Faulk pre season All American LT, Alex Hurst RT, and Williford RG. That forced him to put 2 freshmen and play Dworczek out of position. Basically the line he started with was gone by game 3. ANy team faced with these losses would have been crippled (as we were for a couple of games). That he and Stud were able to cobble together the line they did is a tribute to the excellent job they did. It also bodes well for next year.
