[QUOTE="AE 87, post: 88782, member: 195"] I'm sorry, Jerry, but I don't get your reference to Baylor and TCU. Even after this past weekend, Baylor is #3 (4.23 ypp) and TCU is #20 (4.75 ypp) in yards/play defense. Before this past weekend, Baylor was #6 (.90 ppd) and TCU was #4 (.80 ppd) in points/drive scoring defense. These had been statistically two of the best defenses in the country. When they played each other, they each scored ~3.4 points/drive, with Baylor having 18 drives to TCU's 17 drives. Yes, 3.4 ppd is pretty high, but Baylor and TCU also both have very good offenses. That's still fewer points/drive than we allowed Duke, and Duke's offense is not Baylor's. I think you have to embrace points/drive as a better stat than points/game when evaluating scoring offense and scoring defense. You can't just say our defense that allowed 31 points against Duke is better than TCU's which allowed Baylor 61 when Baylor had twice as many drives as Duke. [/QUOTE]
