  This is not X's and O's.  This is simply statistics.  Hopefully you know what X's ans O's are???

Wow!  What really shocks me is that we were actually 76th in rushing offense last season.  Much higher than I thought.

The numbers have improved greatly with a large number of the same players from last year.

F*ck you hater, everyone loves stats.

Then why only give a few stats?  Why not include passing offense and passing defense?  I know that if I truly loved stats, I'd want to see the complete picture.

Passing O:  2008- 270 ypg,              2009- 164 ypg
Rushing O:  2008  3.2 ypc, 133 ypg,  2009- 4.5 ypc, 191 ypg
Total O:     2008- 35 ppg,  402 ypg   2009- 26 ppg, 355 ypg
Total D:     2008- 36 ppg, 479 ypg,   2009- 22.5 ppg, 338 ypg

Difference in points gained/points given up= +4.5
Difference in yards= +96.

So, we've improved nearly 5 ppg and 100 ypg.  Not too shabby.
