UVA's offense raped us. Duke put up huge yardage numbers. FSU is vastly overrated on offense(see their 13 point effort yesterday), USF is as horrid a one dimensional offense as immaginable(they put up 10 points against Connecticut, 17 against Buttgers & Pittsburgh and that performance in the Notre Dame game made my eyes bleed and included a defensive score).
I am not impressed yet.
We have crap at the corner position but the rest is more than servicable. There's no reason for Bethune Cookman to put up 400 yards on us.
We still rarely force a turnover or get an interception.
Mark No D' ofrio's defense is the reason this team has 5 losses.
Just FWIW 2011 Canes:
Scoring Offense: 27.4 61st in the nation
Scoring Defense: 19.7 19th in the nation
Fisch is widely praised by our fans and D'Onfrio criticized by many (not by me). And I would say Fisch has much more talent on that side of the ball. Obviously stats don't tell the whole story but thought it was interesting.
That's putting it lightly. We don't score too often because we our offense isn't on the field enough, save for the last 2 games. Other than rushing, we're much more efficient on offense this year than last. Yards per play are up, passing efficiency is way up, redzone efficiency is up, turnovers are way down. Granted, there were a few things I haven't liked about Fisch's playcalling, especially this past game, but overall he's been a big improvement over Whipple. We may very well have won the Coastal if our defense could have played better earlier in the season, the way it's playing now.
