Realistic Goals for GT Offense '07
ppg- 30.0- i think this shouldn't be a problem if we utilize our talent, spread the ball around, and run choice left/right/up the middle.
rypg- 220.0- with choice, dwyer, grant, evans, and cox blocking this should not be a problem since the oline will be awesome this year as long as we run choice enough. I think we should let cox run the ball on short yardage situations.
pypg- 230.0- if taylor can complete at least 58% of his passes we should surpass this goal almost every game. Bennett should have good blocking oline and johnson and thomas should combine for 150 yards plus the backups, peek, and rb's should contribute too. Cox is a good pass blocker and so is choice.
Total Offense 450.0- Bond broke alot of records at Army and you see what he did with garrett wolfe at northern illinois. If bennett can just do his part i really dont think this will be a problem.

Realistic Goals for GT defense '07
allowed ppg- 12.0- this may be GT's best defense under gailey to me bcuz of dline depth and safety depth. Theres depth at linebacker but theres just an unclear starter at olb. CB depth concerns me though. The dline should be in the backfield ALOT this season with thunder (guyton) and Lightning (wheeler) terrorizing running backs and qb's.
rypg- 80.0- we don't have space eaters on our dline but with that freak michael johnson, oliver, robertson, richard, morgan, anyaibe, and richard this shouldn't be a problem... ALOT of depth on the dline.
pypg- 150.0- this one is very suspect. our secondary is not bad but its not on and popping either. the dline and lb's should help the secondary out alot if it can get in the backfield of opposing offenses. It wouldn't surprise me at all if we gave up more than 150 yards passing each game but i don't think i'll have to worry about that.
Total Defense- 230.0- defense should always carry the tema but i think the offense will do its part too. Great leadership on d and lots of talent.
 
Those are some pretty lofty goals. We'd be looking at a repeat appearance in the ACC championship game if we could attain those.
 
If we come *near* your goals we'll win our division.
 
30 PPG won't happen. Not because we can't, but because we won't. Keep in mind CCG's game philosophy.

That said, I hope he proves me wrong and blows your prediction out of the water!!

The defense stats aren't out of reach.
 
Given the above numbers, here is where we would have ranked in 2006..followed by where we actually ranked

Scoring - 21st...54th
Rush Offense - 5th......35th
Pass Offense - 32nd......91st
Total Offense - 6th......67th

Scoring Defense - 2nd....27th
Rushing Defense - 7th....20th
Passing Defense - 5th.....49th
Total Defense - 2nd......27th

No doubt I think we will improve the numbers, but I'm not quite that optimistic.
 
I think our D stays about status quo, but our offense improves, and the improvement on O gives our D better stats, because they'll be on the field less.

If we put up those stats, not only will we win the ACC, we'll be National Champions.
 
Looking at last year, only Texas Tech, WVU and a handful of mid-majors averaged more than 450 ypg offense. On defense, only Virginia Tech averaged less than 230 ypg, helped somewhat by their high school OOC schedule.

And I don't think any team came close to a spread of 220 ypg. For example, Florida's spread was 141 ypg and tOSU's spread was 104 ypg.
 
I think individually those are all great goals, but to call them all realistic just isn't rational.
 
John Bond's offenses at Northern Illinois had these Total Offense numbers:

2004: 439 yds/gm (#14 nationally)
2005: 444 yds/gm (#16)
2006: 363 yds/gm (#43)

Some will dismiss these results based on competing in the MAC, so let's look at BCS opponents:

2004: 337 yds vs. Maryland (Total defense avg: 315 yds/gm)
2004: 402 yds vs. Iowa St. (Total defense avg: 329 yds/gm)
2005: 411 yds vs. Michigan (Total defense avg: 345 yds/gm)
2005: 539 yds vs. Northwestern (Total defense avg: 480 yds/gm)
2006: 343 yds vs. Ohio State (Total defense avg: 280 yds/gm)
2006: 466 yds vs. Temple (Total defense avg: 452 yds/gm)


So even against BCS teams and utilizing MAC talent, Bond was able to do better than average in terms of total offense.

oh, my word!

I've been reserved in my opinion of Bond, just because I don't really know him, but those numbers for a MAC team vs BCS teams is startlin'!!

Thanks for the stats! If 007 can put these kinds of numbers up with Mid-American Conference talent against BCS schools, imagine what he will be able to do with the talent we already have and the talent we have coming in!

I think it is no coincidence that 007 comes aboard in '07.

What were the final scores for all of these games?
 
I would argue that if we could do 10% better than average in yards gained versus our opponents last year, we may have won 11 games.
