The defense by numbers (long)

[SteensVol]

I wanted to see statistically what Shoop's defense looks like.

Georgia Tech game:
First downs- 33
Rushing yards- 535
Passing yards- 120
Total Yards given up- 655
Total plays by GT- 96
3rd downs- 13-18 (only five times they didn't convert on 3rd down)
Turnovers forced- 2

They averaged getting 6.82 yards every time they snapped the ball.:banghead2:

Indiana State game:
First downs- 13
Rushing yards- 122
Passing yards- 93
Total yards given up- 215
Total plays by IS- 57
3rd downs- 0-11
Turnovers forced- 0

IS averaged 3.77 yards every time they snapped the ball.

Florida game:
First downs- 14
Rushing yards- 168
Passing yards- 212
Total yards given up- 380
Total plays by Florida- 57
3rd downs- 7-14
Turnovers forced- 3

Florida averaged getting 6.6 yards every time they snapped the ball.

UMASS game:
First downs- 14
Rushing yards- 144
Passing yards- 137
Total yards given up- 281
Total plays by UMASS- 59
3rd downs- 3-14
Turnovers forced- 0

Umass averaged getting 4.7 yards every time they snapped the ball.

Through 4 games we have given up:
Yards- 1,531
Defense has played 269 snaps.
We are averaging giving up 5.7 yards every time an offense snaps the ball against us.

UT offense by numbers

UMass 4.76 yards per play 59 plays
Fla. 6.14 yards per play 72 plays
ISU 5.89 yards per play 67 plays
GT 6.25 yards per play 59 plays

Avg 5.74 yards per play

UGA offense vs MSU 7.48 ypp
MSU offense vs UGA 4.04 ypp

UGA offense vs ND 4.53
ND offense vs UGA 3.5

I think the benchmark is 5.0 ypp going both directions. W/out 2 - 75 yard plays our Fla D would have been on the 3.5-3.75 range.

Just FYI

Fair Shop!

3-1 and a blown coverage or a false start penalty away from 4-0.

3-1, one play and one bad defensive stand from being 1-3.

Man this is on point. I was excited about the D line this year despite losses to the league and graduation. Same for the O line really.

IMO this has been the most disappointing thing all around. And although we can argue coaching this or that, something tells me we just got a little taste of overrated with some of these guys.

Dont know about you but despite Kongbo being an all around beast - at times he looks uncoordinated.

Yeah, I totally thought we'd be fine despite losing Vereen and especially Barnett. Kongbo is an amazing athlete but he's looked way off balance at times like you said. Here's to hoping our dline finally plays out of their minds brother :toast:
