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.
