Offensive Run Down

The offensive problems really stand out when you look at the side by side. We were in the bottom eleven in almost all categories. We managed to get to 20th in yards per carry, and we were 11th in passing attempts (showing our devotion to both passing the ball, and our need to do so, thanks to constantly being behind). We were near the bottom in completion percentage, passing yards per attempt and sacks allowed, and we were only slightly better running the ball. We were also bad in turning the ball over.

Defensive Run Down

We seemed to be better defensively than offensively, although that's not saying much. It's encouraging that we had the 11th best yards per carry allowed in the rushing game, and that it only looked bad because we faced more rushing attempts than all but three teams (since teams were trying to run out the game clock on us). The less passing attempts, though, hid what I think was the worst part of our defense--the pass defense. We weren't so bad overall, but we were probably not as good as two-thirds of the rest of the teams in the league at pass defense. We also need to do better at foricng turnovers, as we finished near the bottom in that (our turnover margin of -10 was terrible). We were 31st in points scored and 30th in points allowed, so we were constantly coming from behind.
