Bye Week with half the season finished. So let's see where the team stands compared to the rest of CFB. Reminder, there are 134 FBS schools.
Computers:
Offense Overall:
Even with some of our recent shortcomings against Temple, we're still an above average offense.
Defense Overall:
We also have an above average defense. Our third down and red zone defense is elite. Not just against bad teams as some of you might say. Duke was 6/18 against us on 3rd downs. Maryland was 6/16 on 3rd downs.
Offensive Rushing:
You don't need stats to know that our rushing attack has been great.
Offensive Passing:
However, our passing offense has been subpar by a number of different metrics. Shoutout to the elite o-line though! My take: we do have better skill players, but a combination of QB play and passing schemes has been lacking.
Misc:
We don't cause many fumbles or INTs per game but we seem to be an above average disciplined team.
Overall, we're an above average team. Somewhere in the 40-60 range of all FBS schools. That would put us in the middle of the pack with the B12 and ACC. And we're doing this without anywhere near the funding that they have. The computer rankings are derived from several years of data, so it will take time for those to reflect the current state of things.
Player Stats:
Joe Fagnano is #26 in the country with 11 TDs.
Durell Robinson is #7 with 7.7 yards/rush. #42 in total yard at 421.
Skyler Bell is 18th in total receiving yards at 508.
