[QUOTE="HurricaneJacket, post: 447433, member: 3006"] I played with a lot of stats and want to improve the following to consider this a good season defensively (past this is just icing) 1, Points Per Game Last year we were 64th in the nation in points per game at 26.5 ppg. This year I want this value to be 23.5 ppg (1 field goal less), this would have been good for the 41st ranked scoring defense in 2017. 2. Firsts Downs Allowed Last year we defended 706 plays and allowed our opponents to gain a first down on 201 of them (28.5% of defended plays resulted in a first down for the opposing team). Of those 201, 53 (approximately 25%) were converted on either 3rd or 4th down. I want to see us allow first downs on less than 20% of defended plays, and to allow less than a 5th of those on 3rd or 4th down. 3. Negative Yard Plays Last year we had 64 plays that resulted in either a sack or a TFL (National leader NIU had 157, Miami (Fl) had 155). This year I want to have more than 100 combined sacks or tfl. If the defense is putting people behind the chains, then typically good things are happening. 4, Affecting the Quarterback Last Year 9.71% of plays defended that featured in a sack, a qb hurry, or a pass attempt were counted as sacks or qb hurries for the good guys. This year I would like that value to be at or above 12.5% of such plays. 5. Yards Against Last year we gave up 3897 yards across 706 plays (5.5 yards per play/354 Yards per game). This year I want to see our ypg fall to less than 325 yards per game. [/QUOTE]
