Much different team you have this year no doubt. about 1000 yds more passing than last year on about same # of attempts
While that's impressive, you also have 600 yds less rushing on about the same number of carries as you did last year.
Samaje Pee-rine was shut down until garbage time in our bowl game (along with everyone else on your offense).
as for Mayfield, I keep seeing these clips you throw out there genuflecting to his scrambling ability against all those Big 12 schools that can't even spell defense, much less play it.
There's a big difference in what he's faced thus far to what he will face New Year's Eve.
In nearly all those clips he's simply scrambling away from one D-lineman that got free of his block. On NYE, he will have to scramble with 2-4 Clemson D-linemen free of their blocks along with a couple of grizzly bear LBs and a DB thrown in for good measure.
He'll simply have nowhere to hide.
We're also a much better offense than the one that blasted your defense last year. You're giving up 350 ypg this year (good for 31st) against a bevy of backup QBs. You lost to Texas, a team that lost 7 games.
