Halfway through the season, here's where we rank in a bunch of stats:

(Note: 134 total FBS teams)

OFFENSE STATS:

  • Total Offense (yards): 72nd
  • Scoring Offense (points): 30th
  • Turnovers Lost: 47th
  • Redzone Offense: 31st
  • Sacks Allowed: 10th
  • Team Passing Efficiency: 42nd
  • Pass Yards per Completion: 31st
  • 3rd Down Conversion %: 124th
  • Total Rush Yards: 85th
  • Yards per Carry: 78th
  • Time of Possession: 30th
  • Available Yards Gained (takes into account field position and what % of available yards in a drive they gain): 60th
  • Points per drive: 47th
  • Yards per play: 44th
  • Starting Field Position (probably more of a defensive stat): 8th

DEFENSE STATS:

  • Total Defense (yards): 23rd
  • Scoring Defense (points): 15th
  • Turnovers Forced: 7th
  • Defensive TDs: 8th
  • Redzone Defense: 59th
  • Team Sacks: 80th
  • Team Passing Efficiency Defense: 1st

Anything stand out or surprise you guys? For me the takeaways are:

Offense is average to slightly above average. Pass protection and red zone efficiency has been great - they've capitalized on the short fields the defense has produced.  To push to the next level they need to be MUCH better on 3rd downs and also establish a more consistent run game (those two are linked IMO).

Defense is top tier, but not perfect.  They've been the motor of this team and they are a major or reason for the team's success...they've made things really easy on our offense with the short fields.  To push to the next level they need to improve on 3rd down defense and also get to the QB more consistently.  I couldn't find a "QB hurries" stat, but just from watching and rewatching the games, we're hurrying QBs and forcing bad decisions, but we haven't had a ton of success with actually completing the sacks. That being said, we're doing WAY better than last year in that area.

The low number of penalties has been incredibly helpful overall for the team too...shows we're a disciplined team.  Especially since a number of those penalties were total BS and shouldnt have been called.
