While I'm certainly loving the results the team has been having is the success sustainable with how little output the offensive side of the ball is producing? Only averaged 335 yards per game during conference play.
How concerned should we be about the offense?

We're ranked 14 so apparently not much
It's not our entire offense. It is really just running between the tackles that we are lacking a bit in. We have gotten through the toughest defenses in the Big 12 now, so we should improve in that aspect.
Let me know when they stop using points and start using yards on the scoreboard.
It's #219 on my list of concerns. For some perspective #117 on my list is "I can't remember ever meeting Harvey Weinstein but does that mean he drugged me".
This. TCU has an elite defense, Texas has an elite defense when they're consistent.
I was just about to post the opposite, this offense obviously has not been great the last few weeks but it's done what it's had to. Not turning the ball over and I think the must understated part being able to make a few first downs letting the defence rest and make adjustments.

With just a little blocking DM should get 150 yards against WVU. I've watched a couple of the highlights from their games and they are not very good at tackling. Passing game could stand to be a little better too. Offense is a concern considering we all thought that was going to be the strength of this team.
When I read this, I thought to myself, "some people are NEVER happy."
Yeah, I know it's not looking too good right now. Especially in the red zone.
Oh wait I thought you were talking about the Chiefs on MNF game.
Didn't we just beat one of the best defenses in the country?

I’ll agree the offense isn’t what I thought it would be but, then again, we aren’t playing our #1 QB either.
The good news is we have the best defense we’ve had in the past 10 years. Maybe longer (thinking the 05 D was pretty salty).

Not at all. We are fine. Offensive line is young, and needs to get some bigger push, but our offense is just fine.
Yeah, I'm guessing we've played the two toughest defenses (other than ours) in the Big 12. That'll put a dent in your stats. Need to obviously find a way to make more holes for Montgomery, because when they are, we're really, really, really tough to beat.
With 255 yards of offense. That gets to the crux of my question, can we honestly expect the defense to force multiple red zone turnovers and hold teams scoreless on a consistent basis?

We've been playing some of the best defenses in the nation. You think TCU or OK or TTech are asking themselves the same thing?
Not to sound too much like an old fart, but defense wins championships and winners win as a team. Cliche? Probably. But I trust the process now and have stopped making snarky comments about it.
