Scoring WILL go up, as we'll have all those players with another year of experience running the system (Dino says between game 4-6 in Season 2 is when it will 'click', and then - watch out!), plus an improved running game (especially if we can ever add Gus to the fold there), and actual threats at the TE position to help spread the D even more, and/or offer a dump-off option if a play breaks down.

Once the O starts scoring more, it makes life easier on the D, as our opponents then have to change their gameplan to try to keep pace on the scoreboard.   That allows the D to be more opportunistic, and hopefully get more TO's.  
If nothing else, if the D simply improves to "meh" from "awful" (which, they did over the course of last season, for the most part), then that will help us win more games.    We can't give up multiple huge chunk plays like we did early in the year against ND, Llvll, Clemson, etc.   I'd imagine the influx of size and speed we just added will help immensely in this regard.
