Most Points in a season
After today's drubbing, I decided to see where team 137 ranks historically.
Year | Coach | Record | Points |
---|---|---|---|
1902 |
Yost |
11-0-0 | 644 |
1904 |
Yost |
10-0-0 | 567 |
1903 |

11-0-1 | 565 |

2003 |
Carr |
10-3-0 | 460 |
2011 |
Hoke |
11-2-0 | 433 |
2016 |

We are currently tied at 8th all time with at least 4 games left to play. Currently averaging 48 points per game, if we continue on that pace for the last 4 games, we end up with 624 points, which is good for 2nd most all time. Of course, if we put up 48 against Ohio State, we might as well add a 5th game for the Big Ten championship game, which would have the potential to make this the highest scoring team in Michigan history.
It's a long shot, but would be amazing. As it stands, this team should end up being the highest scoring team since the Yost teams.

Say whatever you will about high scoring games and the relative competition - to finish with numbers approaching the Yost era is impressive.

Hoke didn't walk across the country for this job just to play basketball on grass.

It worked really well against Delaware State and Western Michigan, but it never worked well against real teams.

I'm with Mabel on this one.

Richrod's offense never did anything useful vs a decent team while he was at Michigan

Did you forget about the O-line problems that resulted from RR recruiting? Forget about Taylor Lewan's statement during a postgame presser? Gardner deserved tons of credit for playing behind that line--he got beaten up by opposing defenses but still gave it his best each game. BTW, consider which of the current O-line members were recruited by Hoke's staff.

They scored 32.6 PPG in 2010, so it's not like his offense was a disaster. It was the defense.
2011 was 33.3 PPG. Not exactly far off.
November 5th, 2016 at 7:58 PM ^
His offense today lost 7-69 to WSU.

From ESPN Stats and Information: Michigan has as many 50-point wins against FBS opponents this season (3) as it had during the Rich Rodriguez and Brady Hoke eras (2008 to 2014).

I'd like to see where this team winds up historically with regards to points margin, our offense and defense both look historically good right now.

7 games with 40 or more points - the offense has been just as impressive as the defense and special teams. It's like watching a complete team.
November 5th, 2016 at 7:38 PM ^
It was all about the offense not making mistakes and doing enough to get the defense a blow so we can win a bunch of 17-3, 17-6, 17-10 type games.

from the State fan who told me the same thing. On the other hand, we're hearing it from two disparate sources, so it is probably true. Right?

We all know that. It doesn't really need to be pointed out.

and fewer points per touchdown....
November 6th, 2016 at 8:33 AM ^
Touchdowns were 5, but extra point kicks were two. On the other hand it was all on the ground, no passing.

is get 106 next week, and 107 after that and there you go; eleven games, 645 points. Easy.
