Some Stats

After 4 games, three of them against BCS teams with pretty salty defenses, the young and rapidly improving Paul Johnson offense is 3rd in the country in rushing yards per game, at nearly 307 yards per game. This is behind his former team-Navy-the national leader; and Oklahoma State. The Jackets are also averaging nearly 6.5 yards per carry. When you consider the youth on this offense and the fact we're only 4 games into the PJ era-pretty amazing. Look at who the key players on offense are:

QB Josh Nesbitt-Soph
QB Jaybo Shaw-true freshman
RB Embry Peebles-true freshman
RB Jonathan Dwayer-Soph
RB Lucas Cox-Soph
RB Quincy Kelly-Soph
RB Roddy Jones-RS Fr
RB Greg Smith-Jr
WR Tyler Melton-true freshman
WR Damaryius Thomas-Soph
OL Joseph Gilbert-RS Fr
OL Zach Krish-Soph

That means Paul Johnson will have nearly every statistical element of his offense around for the two seasons after this one. The defense, outside of the DL, is nearly as young. Can you say BCS? Or maybe more. And don't forget Louisville transfer Anthony Allen, who may allow Dwyer to slide over to the A back posistion like he did a few times yesterday. Scary.

Also wanted to mention that 71 players (nearly everyone on the sideline) got into the game yesterday. Even walk-on QB Bryce Dykes and Calvin Booker got snaps.

I don't know-just watching GT yesterday reminded me so much of what Tom Osborne's teams used to do. Run roughshod over a team powerless to stop you and then get a bunch of backups into the game to build up depth and experience.
