Not having a conference championship since 1999 --- to get one you have to beat conference opponents. The stats are always skewed in college football overall since so many teams have different out of conference opponents (mostly cupcakes). The below stats are the 6 games for in conference play.

The scoring stats are the most concerning. Our inability to run the ball consistently severely impacts the options in the pass game. I assume our defensive stats just went in the crapper after the beat down this weekend.

Always concerning that we didn't have a dominant offensive performance all year- that Wyoming game is very misleading from afar as that was a game until the 4th when we came up with some big turnovers. I can stomach losses to big time programs like ohio state, but this team really needs to get back into the mode of 4 quarters of consistent, effective football, against lesser opponents.

We don't need to be leading the nation in scoring but we absolutely need to be in the top 4 within our own conference given our refusal to line up and run the ball.
