#1 -- No doubt.
#2 -- It seems like we're running the ball differently and it's making a difference.
#3 -- Akron is #11 in the MAC in rushing offense. Might be a little premature to draw that conclusion. I would say pass protection has improved significantly.

Our rushing D may not be as bad as we think, Brewer is #12 in the NCAA for yards and Homer/Walton if you combine the 2 due to Walton's injury would be top 10 in yards. While I don't think we are an elite rushing D by any means, I think we may not get torched by teams that don't have elite RB's. Especially if the opposition doesn't have a serious pass attack. Our passing D has been a pleasant surprise this season.

If it wasn't for Walton the Rockets might have beat the Canes. And of course now Walton is done for the season.

Tough break for Miami.

At least we would have had a fighting chance. Walton was unstoppable.

Hopefully he's a senior so we don't have to face him when they come rolling into our place next year (I've heard they're only going to be getting better as the years go on with Richt as HC).
