Here are some more interesting numbers posted in response to a Ludwig apologist on a Ute board.

Going from being the #3 team in the country to a 5-6 team in a matter of a few years, is slightly more than a few rough years. For anyone that defends Ludwig(Like Crimson who apparently is a genious)Gary Crowton took the exact same players Qb, Rb, Wr's, TE, and essentially the same Defense, and that 5-6 team went 10-2.

2004
2621 PASSING YARDS 22TD 10Int
1746 Rushing Yards 12 TD
PPG 25.64

2005
3654 Passing Yards 28TD 10Int
1612 Rushing Yards 16TD
PPG 34.5

Once again these numbers are from the same starting QB, RB, WR's and almost the entire line. I beg for you to find me an Oregon fan who thinks that Ludwig is even an adequate OC. Smart guys like Crimson can continue to defend Ludwig all they want, but the results speak for themselves. When Crowton can outperform you, something is wrong.
It is all about W's right. All of the other numbers don't matter a lick if you aren't winning.

This site is dedicated to ensuring that Andy Ludwig losses his job at the University of Utah as soon as possible. In less than two short years Utah has gone from an innovative, offensive powerhouse, to a stale pitiful shell of its former self. If one closely examines Andy's track record it quickly becomes apparent that he just isn't up to the job.

While Head Coach Kyle Whittingham continues to back Andy as his guy, we the fans have caught on to the ineptitude that is Ludwig. An offense that rarely manages to put three touchdowns on simply won't cut it.
