then it may have to rely on the defense to win games. At least until the offense learns to average at least 40 ppg. In theory, if a team runs a NFL-friendly defense, then the coaches should eventually be able to attract more talented players on defense. Once you see the defense get more talented players, then eventually it could trickle over onto the offensive side of the ball. Particularly if the coaches are able to sign HS teammates (same or different class).
