Regardless to where they were projected to be the team we played was last in the conference in total defense. They are giving up almost 450 yards per game. That number is significantly helped by our offensive performance on Saturday.
I also think the injury to Helu is a bigger deal than what anyone thought it would be. I def. think the o line is struggling something fierce, but I think if Helu were still getting 20 carries a game we would be doing much better.
