I think I give an edge to ASU DL and maybe the OL. But I generally agree.

A 1 yd difference in passing and rushing isn’t really that significant

First of all, it actually is. The difference between a RB who gains 4.5 ypc

Not considering the scheme we run on Defense. Yds gained isnt a good metric to
