They are bad on offense. They're not explosive at all. They don't finish drives. And, their special teams are horrible.

They're 94th in the country in rushing, 127th in rushing explosiveness. Their OL is 95th at getting push off the line and their top 2 RBs are very low in highlight yards (the portion of a given run that is credit only to the running back) - both are lower than Nate Carter for context and right around Tanner Mangum levels.

Their passing is average but they give up a lot of sacks (they are worst in the country -128th - at getting sacked on standard downs)

Once they get into obvious passing downs, their passing goes way down (105th in the country) and 102nd in the country in offense overall on 3rd downs.

They play offense at one of the slowest paces in the country, which should help our guys coming off a short week and long travel being beat up as much as they are.
