Found this stat interesting. Good article on our defense.
Rivals article on our defense
Also like this quote:
"Those guys a year ago, they had pride in this defense," Claiborne said. "We're just trying to keep that tradition going. Those guys are still expecting big things from us now. I still get texts from Drake and Patrick all the time about playing and about how to play."

That will always help your Time of Possession stat line.

Anyone wanna figure out how many 3 and outs the offense has?

And because they're so young, they'll only get better as the season rolls on.

Okay, i did it.
vs.
Oregon: 14 drives, 4 three and out
Northwestern State: 12 drives, 3 three and out, 1 two play drive where we fumbled. (Jakhari Gore)
MSU: 1 three and out, 1 two plays and an INT
So total, our drives that are 3 or less plays are 10 of 37.
Specifically 3 and outs, 8 of 37
72% of the time our O gets the ball, they have drives of 4 or more plays. We have had no scoring drives of three plays or less. But we do have around 5 scoring drives that consist of 4-6 plays.

Combine that with a defense that produces 3 and outs 53% of the time and you got a lethal combination.

And opposing defenses have only forced three and outs against our offense less than 22% of the time.

I hated seeing the Kelvin Sheppard eye black with no. 1 Defense written on it. They weren't the best d last year. This year they have a very very strong argument, and there is no arguing that it is us, bama, then everyone else.

Nice work! Having the other side of the equation helps put the defensive 3 and outs in perspective.

With the offense showing improvement that's more of a beating we will give opposing defenses. With our defense we absolutely wear out most opponents.

Why would you hate that? Its awesome. If they thought they were good. I don't want a D on the field that says oh we are the 15th best D so we'll play like it

at the risk of sounding like maxipus, imagine if the punt return game were more lethal with this ratio...
