[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 447561, member: 282"] If you ask for numbers here, your wish will be granted Getting some numbers from [URL]https://www.teamrankings.com/college-football/stat/yards-per-play[/URL], which is easy to sort. I can’t find all the stats you want, but I found some. A few were decent, a lot were mediocre or bad, and none were outstanding. That’s surprising to me, because even a poor defense should be outstanding at something. These are worse than I expected. Last year, we were #33 in yards per game with 354 yards per game. We give fewer possessions to opponents, so that number is lower. Army is right next to us in the rankings. This is one of our best stats. In YPP, We were #51 last year with 5.6 yards per play. Our average for the last 3 is 5.4 yards per play. Similar numbers from Middle Tennessee, Hawaii, Army, Oregon, and Texas A&M. This is barely above average. In Points per Play, we’re #85, well below average at 0.423 points per play. Last 3 years, we gave up 0.505 points per play. Similar teams are UVA, UNC, Tennessee, and Navy. We gave up a lot of points. Lots of touchdowns. There’s no sugar coating this stat. In points per game, we gave up 28.2 points per game. Our three year average is 34.3 points per game, so last year was an improvement. We were #69, which is right in the middle of big boy football. Similar teams are Utah, Louisville, and Western Kentucky. Interceptions per game is #119 with 0.4 interceptions per game. The three year average doesn’t even register. Similar teams are Syracuse, Army, Air Force, and Baylor. Fumbles lost per game, we’re #123 with 0.3. Similar teams are UVA, Vandy, Duke, and Missouri. This stat is just terrible, and there’s nothing to balance it out. You can’t be “feast or famine” if there’s no feast, and we didn’t feast last season. One that a lot of people might find useful is opponent first downs per game. We were #35 in giving up 18.7 first downs per game (partly by giving up fewer possessions). There’s also punts per offensive score; how often you scored vs being forced to punt. We we #68 at 1.1 opponent punts per offensive score. Similar teams were Louisville, Temple, Wake, and Florida (who fired their coach). In touchdowns per game, we were #58 with 3.1. We gave up a lot of touchdowns for a team that slows the game and runs the clock. Those aren’t strength of schedule adjusted, but we’re mostly below average. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
