Falcons in the National Rankings

I'm sort of sorry I started this....

Anyway....

• Individually, Kamar Jorden remains #4 despite not getting many catches against Buffalo.
• Dwayne Woods is tied for 2nd in the nation in tackles per game.
• Ty Pronty is #20 in all-purpose yards
• Eugene Cooper is #21 in punt returns.

On a team basis, things are not so good.  Remembering that there are 120 FBS teams...BG is

#119 in rushing offense
#119 in total defense (yards allowed per game)
#116 in rushing defense
#112 in tackles for loss
#107 in sacks

There are others...but we won't belabor the point.  These are a little bit of an illusion because you have the Michigan game in there for the defense, which is a little bit of an outlier.  Still, the idea that we are struggling to run the ball and defend is not wrong, and we are not getting pressure on the QB in our last two games.
