The CAA has the season statistics up.

The Good:

  • Victor Cruz leads all CAA receivers with 117.0 yards/game
  • Brett Arnold leads all CAA punters with 46.7 ave
  • 1st in red zone scoring
  • 1st in first downs
The Bad:
  • 11th in rushing defense
  • 11th in scoring defense
  • 8th in total defense
  • 12th in time of possession (are we scoring quickly or is the defense letting the opposition keep the ball?)
  • 11th in kickoff returns
  • 10th in turnover margin

Keepers power rankings drop us to #10.

Tomorrow I'll be doing a Texas Tech preview and the following day we'll have a "Guest Blog" from Texas Tech blogger Seth Jungman who writes the "Double T Nation".

The weather in Lubbock looks beautiful all week. Mrs. Blog and I fly out Friday from Manchester.
