Nah. the Dodge offenses are in cfbstats' db -- 2008 and 2009 they were mid-conference in production. YPP was at about 5 per even though yardage was at 400ish. Basically, Dodge's offenses were not nearly as explosive and the defense was worse. What's more, they lost a lot more often.

Not even close to Dodgeball.

My wish for this season was for the offense to start producing like a real offense.  So far, so good.

Wins and losses the only stat that matters, I would like all wins please. 

Someone might say that is boring, I could really get behind that kind of boring.

Dodgeball -- pass the ball up to about the 20 yard line, then shift around indecisively through four attempted timeouts before missing a field goal.
