The reason I call 2018 season bizarre was because:
- It was it was so bad it ranked in the bottom decile of any statistical measure see: S&P+ (118th out of 130, sandwiched between Northern Illinois and East Carolina)/OFEI (122nd out of 130, between UTEP and Kent State) ranking. In 2017 the offense wasn’t world breaking but it did its job staying on the field and scoring points (62nd in S&P+ and 87th in OFEI), but in 2018 it was a phantom of it self, in a regression so extreme despite a lack of a coaching change on the offense and most of the starters from 2017 remaining.
