Not bad for a team that struggled so much offensively early on. Averaging 224/game vs. P5, and 288/game over the last 4.
Before you say it - the last 4 teams had bad records but fairly good rush defenses, and the rush defense is not a strong indicator of AU's perf (meaning that overall we ran about as well against good defenses as bad ones).
the upshot - rushing offense is coming on strong, and the passing game has improved a ton (low bar I know).
I don't know that it's enough to beat uat this year, but the coveted "proof of concept" has been established.
