hen Shawn Watson was hired to be Pitt’s offensive coordinator in January 2017, he took over an offense that had produced at record levels the previous season.
In 2016, Pitt had been phenomenally productive, averaging a school-record 40.9 points per game. A year later, the production fell off considerably, as the Panthers averaged more than two touchdowns less per game. In fact, the 23.9 points per game average from 2017 wasn’t just a drop-off from 2016; it was the lowest scoring average for a Pitt team since the 2007 squad that averaged 22.8.
How did the Panthers’ offense fall off a 17-point cliff from one season to the next? And how can tehy get back?
