This offense has to average in the 30?s for that kind of success, regardless of how good our defense is. In this league, there are a lot of good offenses that will make plays against good defenses. Even Forbes and Emerson got beat last year several times.
Pass Rush! Pass Rush! Pass Rush! That is the other key. So as always, it comes din to how good your lines are on both sides of the ball.
8-4 would be a very good season. We don?t play in the No Defense Big 12 or the Top Heavy PAC 12. 8-4 would be equivalent to 10-2 in those leagues.
