Bailing Out the Offense

Posted Oct 21, 2009
None of John Shoop’s offenses during his three years in Chapel Hill have been prolific. The 2007 unit ranked 105th nationally in total offense. That number improved to 92nd in ’08 and currently resides at 117th midway through this season. But in comparing the ’09 offense to the ’08 version through six games, the discrepancy between the offensive yardage totals doesn’t match the difference in the scoring totals. (Inside Carolina)
