Updated after 11 games.

Rushing Offense (Much better even with a weaker O-line)

2017 - 168.5 yards per game
2018 - 201.1 yards per game

Rushing Defense (Significantly better even without Armani Watts in run support)

2017 - 157.4 yards per game
2018 - 82.8 yards per game

Passing Offense (Better even without Christian Kirk)

2017 - 230.9 yards per game
2018 - 259.7 yards per game

Pass Defense (Worse, but that's to be expected without Watts)

2017 - 212.0 yards per game
2018 - 261.0 yards per game

Total Offense (Much better)

2017 - 399.4 yards per game
2018 - 460.8 yards per game

Total Defense (Better, but only marginally due to the terrible secondary)

2017 - 369.4 yards per game
2018 - 343.8 yards per game

Scoring Offense (Only slightly worse because we aren't finishing)

2017 - 32.0 ppg
2018 - 31.1 ppg

Scoring Defense (Marginally better only because we're terrible at forcing turnovers)

2017 - 27.2 ppg
2018 - 22.1 ppg

Turnover Margin (worse on all counts)

2017 - 19 forced, 12 lost (+7 overall, +0.63/game)

If Elko can keep this up, with how thin we are, he needs a really nice bonus.

Good summary of the improvement we've seen, and good observation in the similarity in schedules from year to year.

It's been really impressive how the staff and players have handled the transition, starting out at full speed. Almost every time a school goes through what we're going through, it's pretty ugly at the start.

We’ve lost 3 in 2018. Vernon’s fumble, nicks fumble, and quartneys fumble.

I forgot the exact number but we are way down on number of plays defended from the past couple of years. I think Clemson only ran like 57 plays against us. I think that was a huge part of us being able to get Clemson off the field defensively in the 4th quarter. I also think it's going to cut down on injuries over the course of the season.

Wow, after the Arkansas game we should then have a really truly accurate comparison. I’m excited to see the update after the Arkansas game

So you're saying we did better against Clemson than when we had one of the biggest blown leads in college football history?

Bama is going to wreck these stats next week. They’re on another level than Clemson.

Alabama barely put a dent in our stats. Still IMMENSELY improved from last season and we haven't even played a terrible Arkansas team yet.

Numbers look good.

I would expect a 30 point win vs Pig is not more.

That rushing defense though, if we just had a couple average SEC corners this team could be great. Hopefully recruits are seeing the same thing.
