One of the dumbest moves by Barta in his career and that’s picking from an extensive list. I could see it becoming a real issue if they underwhelm in the nonconference season and start chasing points.
Several considerations here:
1) I don't think Barta has any intention to be bound by this objective. It was done to appease the masses but if they go 9-3 and average 18 pts/game, he'll wiggle out of it. IT is a convenient clause if they go 6-6 or worse.
2) Its really only 1 more TD/game. Considering how anemic the offense was last year, a few incremental upgrades should get this for you.
3) Do we think KF/NP are going to plan the game any different than they have the last 20 years? KF has dodged bigger issues than this. I don't think they will change 1 thing in their approach. Maybe the new QB gets them a few more points but I would put over/under on avg pts/game at 20 going into this year.
