Defense through 4 games


Sep 24, 2018, 12:17 PM

According to ESPN our D has seen 66 pass attempts (2nd fewest in the nation) and we have 16 sacks (2nd most in the nation). That's a sack rate of 24%

For perspective: last years season best sack rate was Michigan at 11% followed by us at 10%. The best sack rate in the past decade is 14.85%.


After facing 3 rushing teams our D is giving up 2.3 yards/attempt on the ground, good for 5th best in the nation.

Fun fact, we're 1 of only 5 teams (out of 130) that have yet to record a pick (looking at you Mark Fields).

we are however, giving up 9 yards per pass attempt. Mond absolutely torched us and we have played 3 triple option teams. Hopefully, Syracuse doesn't have a good day in the air against us

A little surprised by the # of points we've given up. Really thought this team would push getting to single digit ppg on the season.

One could argue that if we play our starters 4 quarters we'd be at 8.25 points per game (26 to A&M and 7 to Tech).

Do you not even watch the games?

Yeah, single digits is starters-for-all-4-quarters types of numbers.

Yeah...we don't do that here.

Heck, Wallace had 3 picks bounce off his hands vs. A&M.
