The bugaboo this year has been inconsistency. We've had four games where the offense has clicked and it has played well. Not surprisingly, we are 4-0 in those games (2 wins by each QB, though Chryst was nominally the starter against UCLA). Of note, three of the four were at home, the fourth was in a neutral site against a bad team:
* Rice 656 yrds, 8.99 yards per play, 62 points
* UCLA 553 yards, 8.01 yards per play, 58 points
* ASU 504 yards, 8.84 yards per play, 34 points
* Oregon 504 yards, 7.3 yards per play, 49 points
We've had two games where the offense played ok, but not well. We wound up 1-1 in those games. Chryst was the starter and both were on the road:
* USC 342 yards, 6.3 yards per play, 24 points
* Utah 384 yards, 6.98 yards per play, 23 points
And we've had three stinkers of games. We wound up 1-2 in those games. Chryst was the starter in two; Costello in one. Not surpringly, all three were on the road:
* SDSU 254 yards, 5.9 yards per play, 17 points
* OSU 222 yards, 3.7 yards per play, 15 points
* WSU 176 yards, 3.7 yards per play, 21 points (though 7 were by the defense).
Conclusion: The offense is very inconsistent; it is hard to believe that the team that could not be stopped against Oregon, UCLA, or ASU also put up virtually nothing against OSU. The team is much better at home than on the road.
