I just hope we don't swing the other way and be all pass and no run! We need a good balance - 350+ yards passing and 200+ yards rushing a game - balance being 1.5 to 1 ratio or even 2 to 1 pass to run yards. A good run game wins championships, gives the defense a rest and controls the clock late in the game.

Hold up there hognaustin... Defense wins championships... Our defense has got to improve for us.... And I think it will. As a matter of fact, I think our defense will be the biggest suprise this year in the SEC.. I am just proving a point... All the offense in the world won't win in the SEC... A defense can single-handlely win a game.. A few blocks punts/field goals and a interception returned back for a TD can win the game... You know the offense will be there for us.. But to be the real deal this year... Its defense baby... Wille and the boys got to step up this year... There are no excuses this year for the defense... Go Hogs!!!!!!
