[QUOTE="AE 87, post: 273297, member: 195"] Okay, so I was planning on waiting until after the bowl game, but I’m hoping the bowl game reflects a page turn on defense. In addition to my points/drive versus power5 opponent stats, I also looked at yards/play and the football study hall percentile grade for each game. The football study hall information is from [URL]http://www.footballstudyhall.com/pages/2016-georgia-tech-advanced-statistical-profile[/URL] The OPPDdif stat is the difference between GT’s Offensive PPD and the opponents average DPPD (their average points/drive allowed versus power5 opponents). The OYYPdif stat is the difference between GT’s offensive yds/play and the opponents average yds/play allowed versus power5 opponents. Mercer and GaSou did not play more than 2 pwr5 opponents, so I didn’t calculate a dif stat for their games. [ATTACH=full]2095[/ATTACH] There seems to be a decent correlation between these stats, remembering that the O% stat is more opponent adjusted. It confirms that we weren’t playing our best offense versus BC, CU, and Miami, but especially CU. Our average OPPDdif versus pwr5 opponents was .20, and our average OYPPdif was .74. So, if we think of a 12 drive, 60 play game, we averaged 2 ½ pts and 44 yds better than opposition average. Now, let’s look at the same data for our defense: [ATTACH=full]2096[/ATTACH] For DPPDdif and DYPPdif, negative numbers are better. We want to have allowed fewer ppd and ypp than the opponents offense averaged against power 5 opponents for the season. I think that the fact that jumps out from this table is that our D performed above a 60%in only three games, Vandy, CU, and vpi. Note: the Miami fumble-return TD’s do not count against the D. Our average DPPDdif vs pwr5 opponents was 0.36, and average DYPPdif was .73. So, for a 12 drive 60 play game, our pwr5 opponents scored on average 4.4 more points and 43.7 more yards than their other opponents. What do others see/think? [/QUOTE]
