Through three games, 2013 vs 2014 (each saw one top 10 SEC team, one FBS opponent and Rice):
•Points - 2013: 36 ppg, 2014: 14 ppg
•Sacks - 2013: 1 spg, 2014: 3 spg
•Third Down % - 2013: 41%, 2014: 33%
•Rush Yards - 2013: 260 ypg, 2014: 132 ypg
•Total Yards - 2013: 489 ypg, 2014: 386 ypg
We are also giving up five fewer first downs per game, only half as many plays of 10+ yards and have ELEVEN more QB hits/pressures through three games.

Look at the little piggy all excited after this weekend. Have fun now. We will be putting a 60 spot on you in two weeks.

Chill breaux, I was just pointing out that Klarvin doesn't know the difference between FBS and FCS, that's all.

I'd say the improvement is that it's not a 100-120 defense this year. It's a 50-100 defense.
If the offense can not crap the bed the D is going to be able to win games like Bama, Auburn, and Missouri from last year.
It's still tumultuous enough to lose those games as well.

Disagree.
We're terrible and should just be grateful that anyone is even letting us take the field with them.

Don't be too grateful. Your opponents are getting paid off to let you take the field with them.

Really? And I thought they just liked us.

I'm sure some of them do. But LSU has a weird emotional (and possibly hate-sexual) reaction to your presence, and Arkansas simply can't stand you because it beat you here by two decades and the SEC still likes TAMU more. It's all very sad.

I agree, your defense is better. It was pretty much impossible for them to not be better. But better than the worst defense in the SEC will still be some of the worst defense in the league.
Congratulations on only giving up 386 ypg, I guess...?

Less than 15 ppg.
After 3 games last year, they allowed 36 ppg.

Nice. Keeping it all between the 20s. Let's how well that works against the West.
