Interesting look at our offense versus our opponents defense

If you look at how many points we have scored against our opponents and track that against where they are ranked nationally in total defense, here is the picture

Team..........Defense Rank...........GT Points
Auburn...............5...........................17
FSU...................12..........................13
Maryland............14..........................7
BYU...................21..........................13
Clemson.............38..........................3
Vanderbilt..........56..........................24
NC State.............89.........................29
Wake Forest.......100........................24

Remaining
Duke...................57
UNC....................116
UVA....................73

So what does this tell us??? Our offense struggles against teams that are in the top 50 defenses in the country and we can score points against those that are not. We know our defense is good enough to stop anyone. Just a matter of the offensive flow. Not exactly rocket science, but look at the remaining games. All NOT in the top 50 in defense. A good sign for GT.

Is the offensive output the last 4 games (minus Maryland) really a function of the quality of the defenses or the development of Reggie Ball in the offense. I would like to believe both, but I think the quality of defense plays a larger role. The Maryland game kind of confirmed that fact. Not taking away from Reggie, but let's be somewhat realistic here.

And lastly, once again, we all know that statistics are for suckers.
