I was looking at some of the statistics so far now that we're 4 games in and noticed some interesting things.
We're the 4th ranked pass def. in the B1G, but we're the 11th ranked pass def. efficiency. Essentially we're getting killed on big plays.
We're 13th in run def. ahead of only PSU and we're giving up an average of 181.8 yds a game.
We're dead last in passing efficiency as well as passing offense.
#1 in kickoff returns and currently the only B1G team with a kick off return for a TD. With Grant gone I imagine we fall in this rapidly.
We lead the B1G in punts at 25 (ouch) that's an average of 6.25 punts per game.
Takeaways: We're vastly improved in our pass defense from last year, but need to minimize the big plays. Although most came in game one with Ross torching the secondary.
Our run defense needs to get better. Was hoping with the return of Hamilton and our starters having an extra year of conditioning and experience this would be noticeably better.
The passing stats speak for themselves and there's no need to harp on them.
Need to sustain more drives and cut down on how much we're punting.
