I really don't want to start this post as a means to rain on the win. A W is a W and I'll take it, even if Pitt's WR probably scored on that reception before the fumble.

But at this point I am REALLY concerned about our offensive firepower. We have a 1st-round QB draft pick, (possibly) 2 NFL WR's, an All-American center (Wood) and tackle (Bussey), and two potential NFL TE's. But in the last two weeks, we have managed a total of 34 offensive points and less than 375 total yards (321 v UConn, 356 v Pitt).

If we remove the two season-opening games versus Murray State and Middle Tennessee, Louisville is only averaging ~450 yards on offense and ~29ppg. The yardage is still up there, but that scoring average would only rank middle of the pack in the NCAA rankings. Additionally, we have a LOT of those points and yards courtesy of two garbage-time 4th quarters where Brohm was chucking it all over the place against prevent defenses holding onto big leads (Syracuse, Utah).

The imbalance between run and pass, as well as some of the run plays, screens, and player utilizations had me biting my nails early in the season. Now with the added insight of slow play CALLING (always love having under 10 seconds to get a play off) and letting the foot off the gas against both UConn and Pitt in consecutive weeks, it looks to me like Charlie Stubbs needs to be as much on the chopping block as Mike Cassity.

All this yardage just doesn't ring true when 1/3 of it came in those first two games. Same for the scoring (131 of 333 points in the first two games). Something is seriously wrong when we have gotten progressively worse as the season wore on and continue to bog down despite having probably the best QB-WR duo in the entire nation.
