Offensive Comparison

SOC is run heavy with 3700 yards on the ground and 1500 passing for the season.

PN-G brings a more balanced attack with around 2800 on the ground and 2200 passing.

Both teams field a large offensive line averaging around 300 pounds. Each team has a 1000+ yard rusher.

I view the SOC stats as mostly positive, as I think our run defense is a bit better than our secondary. However, we have also had a pretty effective pass rush at times, which has increased the overall effectiveness of our pass defense. In any case, I have seen them complete some big pass plays in the available videos, so we need to stop the run first and get ready to pressure the QB if necessary. On offense, we need to do what we have done the last few games: Run the ball well and complete a few big pass plays at timely moments.
