Our problem on offense was not that we had a lot of 3 and outs, it was that we had a HUGE number of long drives where we would stall and come away with 3 or zero points.

If you look at "total drives", you'll notice that we also had fewer drives than all but 5-6 teams. That will contribute to lack of scoring.
