[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 315917, member: 282"] Regarding some of the stats, I like these ones: [URL]http://www.footballstudyhall.com/pages/2016-georgia-tech-advanced-statistical-profile[/URL]. They're normalized, so our TOP and the number of drives should be factored out. Std. Downs Run Rate Ours = 57.0% -> #92 National Average = 60.2% Pass. Downs Run Rate Ours = 38.0%-> #29 National Average = 34.5% Overall Havoc Rate Ours = 11.9% -> #123 National Average = 15.8% DL Havoc Rate Ours = 4.4% -> #71 National Average = 5.0% (slightly below average) LB Havoc Rate Ours = 2.1% -> #123 National Average = 4.3% (less than half of the national average) DB Havoc Rate Ours = 5.3% -> #101 National Average = 6.4% (low, especially for a fairly talented secondary) PD to INC Ours = 26.2% -> #121 National Average = 33.1% (we intercept or break up fewer passes on average) Couple of issues there. Our DL was the best part of our defense for havoc (tackles for loss, forced fumbles, passes broken up or intercepted...). Our LB corps was the weakest. I would think our LBs would be a lot closer to average. FWIW, Brant Mitchell was just about as statistically strong as PJ. Can we really keep saying "if we had a better defensive line, we'd have better LB play?". Simmons and Freeman are solid ends. We haven't had first-team all-ACC at DT, but they're at least serviceable. There are other teams that have a linebacking corps that bring up the rest of the team. Shouldn't our LB play still be better than it is? May not come as a shock that we were also #101 at kickoff returns. [/QUOTE]
