Offensive / Defensive Stats - Week 9 (Total defense improves...Yay!)

[mtdenman]

LSU's team stats after week 9.

As I mentioned in my initial post, take these stats for whatever they are worth. They still have to play the game. If you can believe it, there was improvement in Total Offense, Passing Offense, Total Defense, and Passing Defense.

Nuss improves from #7 in Passing yds/g to #4. He is also 8th in number of INTS thrown with 9.

Take all this for what it's worth but here are the current team stats.
