- We are in the bottom 25% at running the ball and just barely in the top 50% at stopping the run. Wisky has to be salivating. We have trouble stopping the run and even more trouble running it ourselves....very bad sign.

-Barely in top 1/3 of country in total D and firmly in the bottom 1/3 in Total O Bottom line is this years D isn't good enough to carry yet another [censored]ty Offense.

-Great inprovement in Kick return games from 2003 but, as expected, punting is somewhat off. Again, Punting can't consistently bail out a [censored]ty offense this year.

This Saturday is either redemption or a complete fall from grace for this team. Wisky is the perfect opponent to either finally show we can be physical at the LOS or have the question officially put to bed for 2004.
