If you go through the stats of what part of our team regressed. Look at the numbers, the D is ranked high in many of the rankings. The Offense looked to be the strength, it was our problem.
The number shows rushing our past power not there this year. Our passing yards gone also 3rd down efficiency and red zone were positives.
Our D next year should even be better. If the O does not get things figured out, we will have a long year. Not saying CFP, an 8-9 win season should be what we expect.
Here's a link to look at the numbers for our Tigers.
