eh, mysty is right, with defense those yards are ok for an 11 win great defense team... but ap and chester will need a good hunk of yards and i think they will combine for 2500 anyway (2500 total rushing + receiving)... but i think it's optimistic with only 9 ints... that is manning like for a 16 game season... i think 11 wins is optimistic, but hey... our players are so young there is no telling... in 1998 if you told me we were going 15-1 i woulda laughed...

These are the numbers you have for a team finishing 11-5. Hum, Interesting. AP and Chester must have 2900 to 3500 yards combined to get that record.
It's called defense, you don't need alot of points if you keep your opponent from scoring. Basic football.
How did our Defense Improve from a 32nd Pass to a top 5 then? We probably can maintain a top 5 rush D, but come on, how are we going to make a leap into a top 20 Pass D even?
