I think early in the year we were even higher ......... we need to get 7 more than 3 now. I think one of those is us taking a knee and letting the clock run out, also one was fumble not sure about the other 2.

Yeah, I think we were higher just after our preseason warmup games. Right now 8th in the nation is pretty impressive considering the tough sched we've played in Oct/Nov.

Took a knee inside the five at the end of the game at Wyoming

Wisconsin stuffed Taylor at the end of the game from the one

Took knees to end the game against Ohio State after Rex ran to their 17

Rex's fumble against Northwestern

But what is our TD percentage? This stat says almost nothing about our offense. Obviously our red zone percentage is going to be sky-high because of one Brett Maher. The TD percentage in the red zone is a lot more informative of the offense in general, and not just whether you have a good kicker and don't turn the ball over.

We are 29-for-44 in TD RZ scoring. Thats 65.9%.

That seems pretty good.

Edit: Not elite though. 32nd in the nation in TD percentage.
