I'm not here to pimp my idea of draft picks or player aquistions. EVERYONE. talks about our need to improve defense and rightfully so. But we've invested a TON via draft picks and free agents and I hope that Ryan can do something with it. I look at the other side and so what Kiffin did with nothing as far as talent and am very excited and anxious to see what he and Russell can do with an influx on that side of the ball both on the line and skill possitions.


DEFENSE
Passing- Scoring 4th (17 td) Yds 8th (3022 total 195.8 ypg)
Rushing- Scoring 32nd (24 td) Yds 31st (2334 total 145.9 ypg)
Overall- Scoring 26th (24.9 ppg) Yds 22nd (5466 total 341.6 ypg)

OFFENSE
Passing- Scoring 24th (17 td) Yds 31st (2631 total 164.4 ypg)
Rushing- Scoring 18th (11 td) Yds 6th (2086 total 130.4 ypg)
Overall- Scoring 23rd (17.7 ppg) Yds 25th (4717 total 294.8 ypg)

2006
Offense 32nd in yds 32nd in pts
Defense 3rd in yds 18th in pts

Kiffin went up 9 places in scoring and 7 places in yds even with using 3 different QBs and RBs behind a suspect line. We've been giving Ryan players and the only good year he had 2006 and that is because teams got to early leads and played conservative. We've made some key additions and could stand to use a couple more on D. But I think that this should be Ryan's test with the new players. Kiffin sees the talent on that side and like me he thinks the problem lies in the schemes and coaching.
