Interesting graphic someone sent me
https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fpercentage-chart-of-designed-rushes-with-a-blown-block-thru-v0-91gri86m6upb1.jpg%3Fs%3D82687e99b0b7647950d45d2988858b17cc520b63
Has LSU at #113 in the country at 10.6% blown block of designed rushes by defense
A&M and Bama tied for 120 at 11.7%
Arkansas at #34 at 2.8%

Doesn't paint the whole picture and who knows what the exact criteria is for this, nonetheless interesting to see where we are vs other teams

Would be interested to see a breakdown by game. I would suspect the majority came in week 1.

To be fair I think opponants matter a lot in this. We have played and SEC defense and Florida st with possibly the top Dline pick in college football.

Absolutely, will be curious if they make another one in 5-6 weeks once everyone is in the thick of conference play. Would imagine we shoot up in the ranking

Some of the higher ranked teams in the country have higher percentages of blown blocks which might be a correlation to having played better quality teams, especially those who played the premier matchups in the first two weeks.

Is this the % of times a guy gets beat 1 on 1?

Or is this the % of times a guy does the wrong thing and blows his assignment?

Doesn't specify

Also goes to show even at 0% your offense can still suck arse, like Miss State

Does OL include TE?
If so, totally believable.
Markway whiffed repeatedly last week.

That’s the problem with these things.

The people compiling the list don’t really know the assignments on a lot of plays and are just guessing

Miss State at 0% seems off. So they successfully blocked Wingo, Smith, and Jones every play on Sat? That doesn’t seem possible unless I’m just not understanding the metric.
