    I don't know enough about pre-D1 era (and the offense was so different back then it's tough to compare) but in the D1 era I think he's got it statistically speaking. The other years that could be up for comparison would probably be.

    Steve Walker in 2007: 166-248 (66.9%) for 2,327 yards, 20 TDs, and 10 INTs for an efficiency rating of 164.3. Rushing he had 49 carries for 23 yards (0.5 yards per carry) and 1 TD (only played 11 games that year)

    Brock Jensen in 2013: 218-329 (66.3%) for 2,793 yards, 34 TDs, and 7 INTs for an efficiency rating of 167.4. Rushing he had 99 carries for 470 yards (4.7 yards per carry) and 10 TDs (15 games).

    Carson Wentz in 2014: 228-358 (63.7%) for 3,111 yards, 25 TDs, and 10 INTs for an efficiency rating of 154.1. Rushing he had 138 carries for 642 yards (4.7 yards per carry) and 6 TDs (16 games).

    Easton Stick in 2017: 164-264 (62.1%) for 2,466 yards, 28 TDs, and 8 INTs for an efficiency rating of 169.5. Rushing he had 112 carries for 664 yards (5.9 yards per carry) and 12 TDs (15 games).

    Easton Stick in 2018: 175-281 (62.3%) for 2,752 yards, 28 TDs, and 7 INTs for an efficiency rating of 172.4. Rushing he had 117 carries for 677 yards (5.8 yards per carry) and 17 TDs (15 games).

    Trey Lance in 2019: 186-277 (67.1%) for 2,714 yards, 28 TDs, and 0 INTs for an efficiency rating of 182.8. Rushing he has 129 carries for 934 yards (6.7 yards per carry) and 13 TDs (15 games - so far).


    I'd say Jensen in 2013 and Stick in 2018 could make an argument just based on total TDs but Lance's efficiency (both throwing and running) has been better this year. Hopefully he can add one more game of impressive numbers to those totals!

    I was going to do this but thanks for doing it. One stat that gets left out is that trey has only lost one fumble this year. I believe u can say he has had the best offensive year even even if we lose. It is statistically just and insane year.
    If it flies it dies.

    Long for the days of freezing in the south stands of Dacotah Field.

    I thought Easton’s season last year would be tough to beat. Trey basically matched it and improved on it... as a freshman.

    Obviously, Lance's season has been one for the ages. Of course, it helps that he is playing on the greatest FCS team of all time.

    If the championship game is not won the discussion of Lance's first season will always be "it was great but....".

    Pretty sure that's what Lance signed up for though.

    True. Personally I just don't see it as being in the discussion as the "the greatest in program history " without the final piece.

    Maybe that stats alone don't necessarily make a season "great"?

    That is pretty much my point. And by the by I do get the statistics.
