[QUOTE="bke1984, post: 30831, member: 932"] With all this talk of the stats, I got to thinking...rankings and statistics don't really measure a team's ability to make a play in the clutch. One of the things I think we've lacked on both sides of the ball in the past two seasons is players that can make a huge play in a critical situation. Maybe they were just off years, but this was something the '98, '99, '06, and '09 teams had that we've lacked here recently. Granted, if the offense keeps performing as it has and the defense moves up into the 20's for the S&P rankings provided, we'd win more games, but I think we could also get a big bump from some big time play-makers even if the defense. However, I guess having those would go ahead and increase the rankings of the defense, wouldn't it? I think this is what made the '98 team as special as it was. Hamilton aside, we scored 11 defensive touchdowns that year! Some teams go an entire season without one of those (multiple seasons, in fact). The UVA game could have easily gone the other way without the defensive score and the Rogers punt return. Anyone know of a statistic that measures your defense's performance in critical situations? Some obvious ones I can think of are red zone defense, third down efficiency, and fourth down efficiency...is there anything out there that measure the "2-minute defense?" [/QUOTE]
