Some interesting stats about BYU's offense and defense

[hawkwing]

I've been plugging some numbers into a spreadsheet and coming up with some interesting stats.

Including FBS teams...

BYU's opponents are averaging just over 8 offensive drives that don't end in time running out of a half/game (and 2 drives that do end in time mercifully stopping the drive). Of those 8 drives, BYU is giving up points on 5 of them. BYU forces punts on 2, and gets a turnover on 1. (Averages)

Meanwhile, BYU is averaging 10 drives and getting points on 1.3 drives per game. BYU punts 5.7 of those drives and turns the ball over 3 of the 10. 0.3 drives per game end in missed field goals.

BYU's opponents average crossing the 50 yard line 8 of 10 drives. They average nearly 41 yards per possession and run 7 plays during each possession.

BYU on the other hand averages crossing the 50 yard line 2 out of 10 drives with an average of 16 yards per drive in 4.8 plays.

Opponents are averaging 24 first downs per game, BYU is averaging 10.

Interesting stats tells a lot about what is going on.

Kind of says with stats what I have been saying and seeing without knowing the stats. BYU's defense is soft. BYU's offense scares no one.
