You really want the stats? Back out the non-power 5 teams from each year, you have the below:
Total Rush Yards: 2018 - 1039 / 2019 - 1132
Total Pass Yards: 2018 - 1202 / 2019 - 961
Total Offensive Yards: 2018 - 2241 / 2019 - 2093
Total Rushing Attempts: 2018 - 206 / 2019 - 195
Yards Per Carry: 2018 - 5 / 2019 - 5.8
Total Passing Attempts: 2018 - 131 / 2019 - 142
Total Passing Completions: 2018 - 83 / 2019 - 96
Pass Completion Percentage: 2018 - 63% / 2019 - 68%
Stack up pretty evenly if you ask me. Sure, we don't pass the 'eye test' and look as sexy as we expected to be. But this team was a quarter away from the CFP last year, with the same statistical summary that we have today...with less experience and musical chairs at several positions because of injuries.
Do I think we still have meat on the bones? Absolutely, I think we've left a lot of points on the board. But we have, as Kirby put it, stubbed our toes so many times. Better play calling here or there, better execution more consistently...and guess what? We'd be outpacing last year and we wouldn't have a loss.
But it's football...you have to play the games and execute well enough to win.

There is truth there, but it's also reminiscent of Marion Barry's famous quote about how safe DC was when he was mayor: “If you take out the killings, Washington actually has a very very low crime rate.” Those toe stubs matter quite a bit, unfortunately.
