Takeaways:
Another statistical mauling took place on Saturday in Philly, which has vaulted a lot of these numbers even higher than they were the last time I did this after the A&M game. Miami now has the THIRD best offense in the country in terms of yards per play. Only the ridiculous offenses at Washington and USC are better right now, but neither of those are even as balanced as we are. 31st in passing yards and 12th in rushing yards per game is incredible. TVD's numbers are off the charts right now, he's literally one of the 5 best passers in America at the moment, and we don't even have our NFL Tight End playing yet. I could write 10 pages on how incredible these numbers are, and especially with how depressing this was to do last year, it's so nice to be able to see the talent infusion and coaching changes showing up on paper. The offensive line is simply insane right now, we're doing anything we want on offense to anyone we play. I'm trying to temper my expectations, because we're still only 4 games in here, and we haven't even played an ACC game yet, but it's getting difficult, because what I'm seeing on gameday in all 3 phases is honestly beyond my wildest dreams to this point. The cohesion, the confidence, the execution, the enthusiasm, and the influx of talent is simply incredible. We will have some tougher games, no doubt. But I just don't see anyone we play totally shutting this offense down. If we can somehow get through 12 games with all 5 OL healthy, this is going to be a Top 10 offense in America.
On defense, there was mopery all summer about how we're too small to stop the run. Any many of us pointed to Guidry's track record and the fact that you don't need UGA's defensive line to stop the run in college football....so what has he done thus far? Oh, just the 4th best rushing defense in yards per game, and 6th in yards per carry allowed. And the overall passing numbers don't look great in terms of yards per game, but it's because teams simply can't run on us, and also our offense is kicking *** and putting these teams way behind on the scoreboard, so the passing volume we've faced is skewed. But we're top 37 in passer rating allowed, completion percentage allowed, and yards per attempt allowed. So we've giving up yards, but on a play by play basis, we're very good.
**** is about to get real now after the bye. GT actually has some good offensive numbers (their defense is AWFUL), but then we get UNC and Clemson. If these numbers look even remotely this good at the end of October, look the **** out. We will be very relevant in the ACC championship and possibly the playoff race. Buckle up, boys. We have a good football team again. How good will be answered over the next 4 weeks. GO CANES!
