CFB Matrix: Defensive Efficiency Ratings


Mavric

Recommended Posts

What are Defensive Per Play Efficiency Metrics? They are the resistance each defense exerts before the opposing offense scores 1 point. It involves rush defense efficiency, pass defense efficiency, turnover frequency, penalty rate, etc. This is not a metric in points per game because every game has a differing amount of plays ran hence a differing amount of opportunities for the offense to score. These metrics focus on what is achieved in one single play. The higher the index number, the better the defense.
