Let's ask Auburn what they did offensively against these guys.

You're missing some important statistics here:

Toughness, SECWest-ness, and Cowbell percentage

Can you factor in the 2/3 time of possession they will have against us?

I'm really surprised that the opponent offensive and defensive rankings are so similar for both teams. Wake's numbers wouldn't have been so out of wack if we hadn't had 3 games where we shit the bed on defense.
