Wake Forest	236	140	376	77	4.9
USC	313	144	457	68	6.7
Ball State	192	425	617	86	7.2

Per play average is increasing as is the amount of yardage give up by the defense. Not exactly an improvement, is it? In case you're wondering: Opponents National Ranking in Total Offense As of September 22nd:

Well

Balls Tate is evidently one of the better offenses around, though their stats come against 'lesser' competition, so they say--guess that includes NE.

NE's D has got to stop this tendency toward 'upward mobility'!

What Defense

Doesn't say much any way you slice it. If you can't stop the run (i.e. Wake and Southern Cal) or the pass (i.e. Ball) then how do you expect to keep up with run happy Oklahoma or Texas A.M. or pass happy Mizzou or dare I say Kansas.
