A lot of our passing D ranking comes from playing BGSU and OU early.




Matt Johnson is only averaging about 450 yards and 4 TDS per game.


Dude is legit.

Opponents passes per game

Ole Miss - 40.7
Tennessee - 38
Alabama - 38
Vandy - 35.4
Miss State - 34
Auburn - 33.6
LSU - 32.8
Florida - 32.4
USCe - 31.7
Arkansas - 31
Georgia - 30.8
Kentucky - 30.2
aTm - 30.2
Mizzou - 30



Those three are particularly interesting. It looks like Vandy really is improved on defense whereas the jury may still be out on Kentucky's improved D. Mizzou's secondary may not be as good as we've been led to believe either but given their past success on D, they may be due the benefit of the doubt.

At any rate, these stats will no doubt even out a little bit as teams face more opponents.

He was amazing to watch. One of the best passers I've ever seen on any college team period. How in the hell did he end up at Bowling Green?

What's up Auburn fan. Weird seeing one of you around here.....how's the weather down there? I see a big turnaround next year for you guys. I see Auburn winning some games next year. Sadly I see you guys losing some games too. I think you'll for sure win and lose games next season. That's my next year preview for your team...if you repeat it just give me a shout out or something.

LF is good

they can't trade punches with the heavy hitters

The run defense has had poor performances. Opposing teams have tested this and found more yards when running the ball.

Yeah, but that 93rd ranked rush defense?



Slightly above Auburn and SC, but those two have there stats skewed from the LSU games. Our offense has the want to rush the ball

Pleased to see our passing defense take a great step forward this year.

You've reached peak delusion.

Aggy defense actually did the impossible and took a leap BACK in run defense. The fact that teams don't need to pass doesn't mean y'alls pass defense is any better.
