Hev Whiffs Again

And yet we still have set our 8 best offensive seasons ever in the 8 seasons Mullen & Hevesy have been coaching here. Did y'all forget how awful our offense was with Croom? Remember that time we lost to Auburn 3-2? If our defense was ranked as well as our offense every year we would be an annual top 15 program.

Is that saying that much? As I have researched and previously posted, look at out national offensive rankings THEN look at our scores each year. Outside of 2014, our offense has been ranked 31 once and 40s and below the other seasons, with 1 in the 60s and 2 in the 80s. Look at total O, scoring O, 3rd down conversions, and red zone efficiency.

Yet our defensive rankings generally are better than that if I recall correctly, but they always get blamed for our losing games. Even in 14 when our D gave up a lot of garbage yards late in games when we were up big in and had a poor total D ranking, they were #1 I believe in red zone efficiency and 23 in scoring D.

Everyone conveniently forgets when our offense scores 17 or less with some 3, 10, or 14 point games along the way. We scored only 17 in '15 against a horrible AU team, and couldn't run the ball a lick.

ETA: The reason Mullen OWNS the MSU offensive record book is cause there wasn't one before he got here. We've never had much of an offense before. Serviceable at times ... but not record setting evah.
