[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 857845, member: 282"] The first block of stats is going to come from [URL='https://collegefootballdata.com/team/Georgia%20Tech']https://collegefootballdata.com/team/Georgia Tech[/URL]. The glossary is available at [URL]https://collegefootballdata.com/glossary[/URL] if you wonder where points per opportunity and other terms come from. [B]Scoring Opportunities[/B] consist of all offensive drives in which the ball has been advanced past the defense's 40 yard line. [TABLE] [TR] [TH]Scoring Opportunities[/TH] [TH]Offense[/TH] [TH]Defense[/TH] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Opportunities[/TD] [TD]59[/TD] [TD]70[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Points Per Opportunity[/TD] [TD]3.2[/TD] [TD]4.2[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] 3.2 points per opportunity is middle of the pack for offense. 4.2 points per opportunity is a wreck for the defense--if the other team got the ball to our 40, they were usually scoring TDs. OK, let's look at "Havoc". [B]Havoc[/B] refers to the percentage of plays in with the defense recorded a TFL, forced a fumble, intercepted a pass or broke up a pass. [B]DB Havoc[/B] is the percentage of plays in which the defense defended or intercepted a pass. [TABLE] [TR] [TH]Georgia Tech[/TH] [TH]Offense[/TH] [TH]Defense[/TH] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Total[/TD] [TD]20%[/TD] [TD]15%[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Front Seven[/TD] [TD][B][U][I]14%[/I][/U][/B][/TD] [TD]11%[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]DB[/TD] [TD]6%[/TD] [TD]4%[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] We've had requests for "offensive line" stats. The "Offense" column of Havoc is largely a line sack, especially the 14% from the front 7 on defense. Those are players coming through the lines and getting sacks, disrupting passes, tipping passes, and getting tackles for loss. You may ask yourself, "Why is Slugboy highlighting that 14%". Is that a big number? As it turns out, it's the worst in the conference. The horizontal axis is the Front 7 Havoc on offense (how often the other team's defense caused havoc) and the vertical axis in the chart below is the defense's front 7 havoc. The ACC has a cluster of good offensive lines (WF, Pitt, Louisville, Clemson, NCST), and a cluster of bad ones (GT, Syracuse, Miami, VT, FSU, Duke, BC, and UNC), and UVA kinda all alone in average space. Also, UVA's defensive front 7 didn't disrupt much of anything. We let our opponents wreak more havoc than any other team in the conference. [ATTACH type="full" alt="1640982262945.png"]11905[/ATTACH] For those of you who want to see all defense, here is defensive front 7 havoc (horizontal) vs defensive DB havoc (vertical). Our DBs broke up fewer passes and made fewer interceptions than any other team in the ACC. Front 7 is OK. [CENTER][B][U]Defensive Havoc (Good)[/U][/B][/CENTER] [ATTACH type="full" alt="1640982693668.png"]11906[/ATTACH] On the offensive side, here's the same (look at the chart below). Horizontal is front 7 havoc and vertical is DB havoc. You want to be in the bottom left of this chart (don't have many passes defended or intercepted, and very few sacks). Wake, UVA, and Miami have a lot of passes defended and other DB havoc stats. They also slung the ball a lot more times than we did. [B][I][U]What does this chart mean[/U][/I][/B]? We've had a lot of arguments that we threw too many picks, and that our offensive woes were mainly at the QB position. We actually come out in the middle here. The problem is too many sacks, too many tackles for loss, and too much disruption from the other team's front 7. Yeah, we threw picks. Picks are bad. There were bad reads and bad decisions and bad progression. But that's not what sank us--what sank us was the front 7 of the other team getting in our backfield and making hay.
