The Wildcats have a about middle of the road in both rushing and passing offense. Let's look at the numbers.
Rushing Offense: The Cats rank 68th nationally and 8th in the Big XII in rushing offense, averaging 132.5 ypg and 4.48 ypc. They alternate between running backs James Johnson and Leon Patton. Johnson is averaging 4.41 ypc while Patton averages 5.8 ypc. Don't expect either of them to average above 4 yards against this Texas D. If the Cats hope to succeed they must do so with their...
Passing Offense: The Cats are 66th in the nation in Passing and 9th in the Big XII, averaging 190.3 ypg and 12.12 yards a catch.
