They are the 11th best rushing defense, giving up 102 yards per game (we are 4th best rushing attack at 271 yds/game)
They are the 15th best passing defense, giving up 177 yards per game (we are the 29th best passing attack with 271 yds/game... nice symmetry there)
Total defense, they are 6th in the nation just under 280 yards per game.
This will be the toughest defense we've faced since Auburn. I'm getting really nervous about this game! The one thing about their defense, they've only faced one team in the top 50 of total offense: Ohio, and that was a close game.
It should be a great game, we're going to need our defense to step up and cause turnovers.
