This is another offense that knows how to find the end zone with an average of 40.4 points a game. Most of the production has come through the air with an average of 348.2 passing yards a game. Junior quarterback Mitch Trubisky is off to a strong start with 1,711 passing yards and 13 touchdown throws while completing 76 percent of his 175 attempts.
