74th, 71st, 64th, 51st, 43rd, 83rd, 101st, 114th, 87th, 57th, 100th, and 126th.
That list of numbers is where Northwestern’s offense finished in average points per game nationally in the FBS under Mick McCall from 2008 to 2019
Things were actually trending upward early on, with McCall’s offense improving every year during his first five seasons, and culminated in the 2012 offense led by the Trevor Siemian/Kain Colter two-headed monster. Even down the stretch of his tenure, there were plenty of bright spots, which prompted us to make yesterday’s list of our favorite offensive memories from Northwestern football’s past 12 years.
