Their Defense is statistically better in every category, esp rushing TDs allowed (only 1 all season).

Worth noting that their offensive opposition decreased considerably from last year to this year.
Last year the average opponent offensive rank was 43rd. This year, it's 72nd.

O-Line returned everyone. Probably the best O-Line in the SEC.

Jake Fromm and the passing game has gotten worse. Likely due to the attrition and WR/TE being significantly weaker.
While Swift is still a beast, RB overall is weaker after losing Holyfield. Swift will also be a bit banged up.

Thought I'd share my post from tRant.

They've padded some stats against some pretty poor offenses.

Arkansas State, Murray State, Georgia Tech and Notre Dame for OOC. Notre Dame is the highest ranked offense they have faced this year at #47. Source.

They played Tennessee's backup Quarterback.

They played Missouri's backup Quarterback.

They played Kentucky's QB who is still listed as a WR. No, seriously.

They played South Carolina's Wildcat QB for ~2 quarters.

They played Florida's backup QB.

Vanderbilt. (1 - 7 in the SEC)

In fact, the only starting QB they played in the entire East was Vanderbilt, played 3 cupcakes as OOC and finished up with single possession wins against the West.

That is as much of a paper tiger as you will find outside of Clemson this year.

Here.

Their defense isn't actually that good.
