2 reasons we are:
1) We currently rank 3rd in all of FBS in rushing yards per game. And that's been without much semblance of a passing attack. Think about how hard it is to rush successfully with teams not respecting your passing game. Look what we've still done. Now think about what happens in the 2nd half of the season, against tired defenses, when they all of a sudden can't keep stacking the box because of an improved Harris & Co. Our ability to run the ball is the reason we're best equipped to beat the Baylors and the TCUs and the TAMUs of the world, in that they'll simply never have the ball.
2)Leonard Fournette. Legit chance this man may never lose another game in the P&G, given all that we return next year.
2 reasons we're not:
1)Special teams. This goes without saying, if we have to start putting our veteran starters on these units, so be it. But we will not make it through that November gauntlet unscathed if they don't improve. Immediately. Knowing the type of person and coach BDP is, he won't sleep until they're fixed.
2) Penalties. Still having an inordinate amount of unforced penalties, pre-snap, procedurally, etc. Again, the more experience this bunch gets, the better they'll be.
