I compared our topline offensive and defensive stats through 7 games this year vs. the first 7 games last year:
2015:
YPG: 401
Yards allowed PG: 406
PPG: 29
Points allowed PG: 28
However, that includes the Clemson beat down. We played Georgia Tech later in the year last year. To make it more apples to apples, I replaced the Clemson game stats with GT:
2015 with GT instead of Clem:
YPG: 436
Yards allowed PG: 378
PPG: 34
Points allowed PG: 23
2016:
YPG: 414
Yards allowed PG: 343
PPG: 34
Points allowed PG: 17
So if you accept the GT adjustment, our offense has actually been pretty similar to last year. Defense has been better with or without the GT adjustment. Not sure if there is anything to take away other than the fact that the offense hasn't really regressed as much as it just has not improved at all.
