I don't know about wins but what I do see is an OL that is going to be good, a veteran QB who is good and RB's that will help keep the ball in the offenses hands.  The biggest reason there are so many yards and not as many points is speed and elusiveness.  Once there are players that when they touch the ball they can bring it to the end zone from anywhere on the filed is when this Dome will rock so hard the foundation will crack and they'll be forced to build a new one.

If the offense can keep the ball longer we WILL see a major difference on D.  Now, if SU has some quick score offensive guys then the depth on D is going to be huge and needed in a very good way.  As SWC said, the depth or lack of is killing this defense and if this team stays moderately to very healthy, SU and we fans will have a solid season.

Babers is selling something unique here...an exciting offense...a solid D and a Dome.  Ironically...this is what helped Boeheim build his empire and it will also be the thing that will help Babers build his because he has embraced this.   Babers and staff have to be a good coaches, Teachers, recruiters and deligators to succeed on the Hill and yes, a better one than the other guys across the sideline.

This team needs both O and D to be good as well as special teams.  An O that an come from behind, a D that steps up when the O struggles and a special teams that makes something happen when both O and D are in a fistfight.  This is why I like this O...there are capable of scoring, I like that feeling.

As for the chicken and egg argument O or D, I don't care which is better on game day as long as SU's scores more points than the other guys..... if it's a 10 to 3 win or a 45-42 win.   I feel this system is capable of both.
