Doesn't sacks factor in on rushing yardage? I'd say we lost a couple of football fields this past season.




JJ was sacked 34 times last season.
Flynn was sacked 26 times in 2007.

So JJ was sacked only 8 more times, even with a more porous offensive line.

Unfortunately, a lot of JJ's sacks were really, really ugly.

Now factor in how many more plays Flynn's offense ran and he still took fewer sacks.

Jefferson is clearly not the only problem on the offense, but it's really hard to argue he is on par with Flynn's 2007 performance. Let's face it, you could completely start over on offense and not be much worse than the 2009 tigers (relative to the rest of CFB).
