Until this past weekend, I didn't think the offense, as a whole, was unpredictable. I haven't analyzed the stats in detail but here's my general "gut" perception from watching the games:

• There's a clear progression at home from SJSU to Duke to SC to Arizona. 2nd half of SC and Arizona is probably close to the ceiling for this offense.
  
• There's a similar progression interleaved in there for the road games -- gradual improvement from UW to ND to Cal.
  

To me, all that seemed reasonably predictable. Perhaps the improvement wasn't as rapid or as pronounced as we'd have liked but it's there.

Then WSU happened. Is that a regression of the offense? An aberration in the general trend? What happens coming off of a big rivalry win and facing a supposedly weak team that has had an extra week to prepare? Or is the offense really unpredictable?
