Happy game day! Sorry for the late post. I usually do these during a lunch break, but work this week has been out of line.
We go up another two places in overall. Our offense made significant jump week over week. I would love to see that trend continue. Defense continues its downward skid.
View attachment 7228The Fremeau Efficiency Index (FEI) is a college football rating system based on opponent-adjusted possession efficiency, representing the per possession scoring advantage a team would be expected to have on a neutral field against an average opponent. Unadjusted possession efficiency (PE) is calculated as a function of offensive, defensive, and special teams game splits. Schedule strength is represented by each team's average per possession opponent adjustment (OA). Opponent-adjusted offense ratings (OFEI), opponent-adjusted defense ratings (DFEI), and opponent-adjusted special teams ratings (SFEI) are calculated in a similar manner as overall FEI ratings.
Offense:
View attachment 7229OFEI Offense Ratings (OFEI) represent the per possession scoring advantage a team's offense would be expected to have on a neutral field against an average defense. Unadjusted offensive possession efficiency (OPE) is calculated as a function of offensive game splits. Schedule strength is represented by each team's average per possession offensive opponent adjustment (OOA). Touchdown rate (OTD) is the percentage of offensive drives that result in a touchdown. First Down rate (OFD) is the percentage of offensive drives that result in a touchdown or at least one first down. Available Yards percentage (OAY) is the total yards earned by the offense divided by the total yards available to be earned based on starting field position. Explosive Drive rate (OED) is the percentage of offensive drives that average at least ten yards per play. Busted Drive rate (OBD) is the percentage of offensive drives that earn zero or negative yards. Turnover rate (OTO) is the percentage of offensive drives that result in a fumble or interception.
We increased our touch down rate while lowering our turnover rate. Pretty good key to success thereOTO was the offensive stat I asked to improve this week and the offense listened. This was definitely our best offensive performance of the year, and I look forward to more weeks of continued success. Four of our ten drives were still three and outs (or less since one interception on second play of a drive). I don't expect this offense to score points on drives starting inside our 5, but we have to get better at getting a first down or two in those situations.
Defense:
View attachment 7231DFEI Defense Ratings (DFEI) represent the per possession scoring advantage a team's defense would be expected to have on a neutral field against an average offense. Unadjusted defensive possession efficiency (DPE) is calculated as a function of defensive game splits. Schedule strength is represented by each team's average per possession defensive opponent adjustment (DOA). Touchdown rate (DTD) is the percentage of opponent offensive drives that result in a touchdown. First Down rate (DFD) is the percentage of opponent offensive drives that result in a touchdown or at least one first down. Available Yards percentage (DAY) is the total yards surrendered by the defense divided by the total yards available to be earned based on starting field position. Explosive Drive rate (DED) is the percentage of opponent offensive drives that average at least ten yards per play. Busted Drive rate (DBD) is the percentage of opponent offensive drives that earn zero or negative yards. Turnover rate (DTO) is the percentage of opponent offensive drives that result in a fumble or interception.
Defense continues to slide. Early games against weak opponents has shown that the defense is still a work in progress. Pretty much every stat here is worse than last week.
109 Georgia TechTeams are ranked in the table below by net points scored per drive (NPD), the difference between points scored per offensive drive (OPD) and points allowed per opponent offensive drive (DPD). Points per drive from long starting field position for the offense (OLD) and opponent offenses (DLD) are calculated on possessions that begin inside the offense's own 20-yard line. Points per drive from middle starting field position for the offense (OMD) and opponent offenses (DMD) are calculated on possessions that begin from the offense's own 20-yard line to its own 40-yard line. Points per drive from short starting field position for the offense (OSD) and opponent offenses (DSD) are calculated on possessions that begin less than 60 yards from the end zone.

Long drives continue to be the bane of our offense and short drives continue to be a thorn for the defense. In another thread I mentioned that if we gave UVA way too many short field last week, but even with that, had we held them to our average DSD on the season, we are tied going into the final drive. I hate that I keep harping on this, but the defense has got to be better at holding teams to fgs in drives of 60 yards or less.[/QUOTE]
I think a punt fair catch on the 2 is a turnover with our offense. Led to a short field courtesy of ST.
Hopefully we fair catch all KOs or let them go OOB. And no punt fair catches inside the 10. I expect VT to be well coached on ST and tempt us with high KOs to about the 7. We usually haven't returned to the 25 and often get a penalty to back us up even more. UVa was nice and KO'd into the end zone.
