The defensive statistics will follow, but I don't want to have a long, long post, but I'll be going from 1980-1989 in this post, but will probably post the bulk of it Sunday. It isn't a surprise to see Dieter Brock and Warren Moon led teams at the top of the passing statistics. As we can see though, Edmonton was a more balanced team as they were #2 in rushing while Winnipeg was #9 in rushing.
I was a bit surprised to see where the 6-10 Argos ranked in passing. Nobody here speaks rather fondly of the QB situation that year, but they still managed to finish #3 in the CFL. The Argos (to OV's delight) would probably have benefited from a stronger running game in 1980.
As we can see the Hamilton Tiger-Cats made the Grey Cup that year in spite of a rather brutal passing attack.
