re: The Krags-improved JJ passer will be needed today

Those ranks are yet another indication of how statistics can be misleading. Stats have to be taken in context not just as raw numbers. See our defenses stats against Oregon and WV. As raw numbers they look bad but taken in context the numbers aren't as bad or as important as the result. Similar to Trent Richardson's 169 yards from scrimmage against us. Good numbers but in the context of how they impacted the game or their overall meaning,they're really not that impressive.
