I don't think I'll have much to say, will try and let the numbers speak for themselves. What I have done, is compared our whole season from 2011 compared to 2012 thus far. I broke down the raw statistics into yards per game. I'll start with scoring - points per game, first downs per game, and rushing per game including average per rush and rushing TD per game. As you all know, rushing yards cumulatively include sacks so I just went with those included in the totals per game:

Statistics 2011 Ole Miss 2011 OPP 2012 Ole Miss2012 OPP
SCORING 16.1 32.1 31.3 27.7
First Downs PG 15.5 20.7 23.3 19.8

AVG Per Rush 3.4 5.4 5.0 4.1
TD Rushing PG 1.0 2.2 2.5 1.3

Here are our passing statistics along with our opponents for 2011 and 2012, passing yards per game, average per attempt and average per catch, and touchdowns passing per game:

TD Passing PG 0.75 1.4 1.5 1.7

Total offense and average yards per play and touchdowns per game; I've included penalties per game and penalty yards per game. We have averaged 2 fewer penalties per game and 16.2 fewer penalty yards.
