I'd throw out national rankings as they don't take plays per game into account.

For example:

Bowling Green, total D: #86
Syracuse, total D: #99
*Baylor, total D: #61
*BC, total D: #1

Bowling Green, yards per play: #50 at 5.40, 1040 plays

Syracuse, yards per play: #106 at 6.21, 847 plays

Baylor, yards per play: #37 at 5.19, 994 plays

BC, yards per play: #1 at 4.07, 750 plays

The Tampa 2 is perfect for this offense in that it's really difficult for college QB's to throw against. Babers believes that teams will be throwing because they will be down a score or three ;). It will create a ton of INT's:

Bowling Green, INT: #8 at 1.69 per game

Syracuse, INT:  #71 at .92 per game

Baylor, INT: #33 at 1.08 per game (played more games than BC)

BC, INT: #42 at 1.08 per game

(Side note: they gave up more TD's, but we gave up more points)

And finally, just for fun - let's look at offense :)

Bowling Green, yards per play: #15 at 6.74
Syracuse, yards per play: #102 at 5.11
Baylor, yards per play: #2 at 7.26
BC, yards per play: #124 at 4.40
