While it is hard to guess how we will fare this year, I don't think it is hard to conclude that we WILL be better than last year. Hard to imagine the OLine not being much improved (insert injury disclaimer here) and, if so, everything will improve. Just being in the middle of the conference in sacks allowed will add yards and points as well as reduce interceptions.

As the table below illustrates, important as the run game is (and it helps the passing game) and as important as the defense is, we can't win without a very good passing attack.

IMHO, a healty OLine and a motivated TD can easily put up 3,500 passing yards and 30+ points and the run game could be awesome.

As has often been pointed out here, in order to be a ranked team we need to score 35+ points per game. Probably 30 to go bowling.

For me I don't think you can move the chains unless you can pass. This is all in the hands of the QB and what he can do with enough time to pass. (If he can't get that nothing else matters.)

Understanding that I may regret this, put me squarely in the camp of 5,000 yards and 30 PPP and a 7-6 season. We will beat Ohio, Albany, Pitt, BC, Wake, Liberty and NC State (yes, NC State). We might even give Clemson a few moments of deja vu.
LGO!
