These stats really put in perspective how disgusting our offense has been. It’s almost impossible to be a cellar dweller with defensive stats like this, but here we are.

Defense has really improved from last year. Saw it early against the Badgers, but our offense didn't help them.

Where do we rank as a team is the real question..... My guess is around 100 . WE should be 2-1 but CCS refused to start McCloud in the 2nd half of GT.

Pretty close, CBS has us at #94 but I'm pretty sure we'd have been over the century mark before Saturday.

We had a stellar defensive game for turnovers, so our stats got a big boost from Saturday courtesy of FCS. I hope they can keep near those stats into the conference season!

Yea that GT state loss is bad...we gave away a win.  McCloud starting and we win easy.

Wisconsin was uninterested the latter part of the game. We'll see how the defense is playing UCF at their place when they want to beat us down.  We hold them to 49 it will be a good day.
