I almost hate to do anything like this … but we are five games into the season … and it’s always fun to play what if …
It’s a big assumption — as Chris Lum and his teammates have to stay healthy for six more games and anything can happen in PL play — but, what if CL continued to rack up 371 yards per game total offense over the course of the year?
How would we put such a season in perspective? Compare it to FCS total offense leaders the past several years:
2010:
Mike Brown, Liberty (354 ypg), still at Liberty
2009:
Dominic Randolph (354), Holy Cross, NFL cup of coffee
John Skelton (348), Fordham, NFL
Armanti Edwards (330), Appalachian State, NFL
2008:
Dominic Randolph (356), Holy Cross, NFL cup of coffee
Rhett Bomar (354), Sam Houston State, NFL until a DUI
2007:
Josh Johnson (371), San Diego State, NFL
Dominic Randolph (340), Holy Cross, NFL cup of coffee
Scott Riddle (339), Elon, NFL cup of coffee
No. 10: Joe Flacco (285), Delaware, NFL
2006:
Josh Johnson (336), San Diego State, NFL
Tyler Thigpen (329), Coastal Carolina, NFL
I hope Chris, his coaches and his teammates can keep up their performances. They will be in elite company. They must take it one play at a time …
