A very good TD/INT rate (5:2, 3:1) is a necessity. Campbell needs to toss 23-27 TDs this year, assuming 16 starts. About 1.5 per game. If he can get that up to the 30-32 range, he'll be in the pro bowl. But for that to happen, we'd need to find a legit big play source, and I think that's going to be an offensive hole this year.

Dude, my uncle has some nice defenses at Ohio State, they rarely were #1 or even #2 in yards allowed, but they were always #1 with the turnover ratio and top 3. in scoring in the Big Ten. The result, he was the best in the Big Ten circa 1979-1987. Yardage given up is important, but is is the turnover ration and points allowed that really matter the most.
