Last two games has put up the most yards given up by the 15th and 7th ranked defenses this year.   Against VT SU gained 240 yds more than their average allowed, BC 234 more.

This offense has moved the ball against everyone this year that wasn't aided by a hurricane.

6 or 7 D1 opponents more yds gained than opponent averaged allowed.  One game was at Wake.   2nd most yards Lville has allowed this year, 111 over their average.

The offense has been very productive moving the ball, which is almost always a leading indicator in a transition like this, efficiency and points usually lag.

On defense it's a mixed bag but not as bad as you would expect.   First thing to note, 40% of the rushing yards allowed this year happened in two games, vs Lville and USF.

Since then average rushing yds allowed has been 180, and it would be 165 if they hadn't allowed a QB that runs 6.0 go 75 yds for a TD.

The defense has managed to hold 3 of 7 D1 opponents to less than their season average of total offense and in two other games it was 18 yds (VT) and 64 (Uconn).   Against Lville and ND they got gashed in total, Lville went for 242 more than their ridiculous 603 yds per game, and ND managed 241 more than average.

Here is how the team compares to the last two years statistically.    Heck of a turn by 2/3rds into his first season.
