beorach Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 I wasn't considering just the games against other P5 teams last year at this time so the 2017 percentiles below are calculated with respect to bowl and playoff games as well (because that snapshot in time wasn't available via cfbstats.com). That's not the most disappointing thing I discovered for that site, though. I was hoping to do a comparison of NU stats for November only but you can't use two filters (so those stats would include the SEC cupcake games played the weekend before last). Why should anything having to do with college football be perfect, though, aside from the 1995 squad's championship run? PASSING DEFENSE completions per game: 24th in 2018 versus 65th in 2017 percentage: 76th versus 14th yards per attempt: 68th versus 24th touchdowns per game: 61st versus 47th rating: 72nd versus 18th yards per game: 31st versus 66th Avg. percentile ratings for this category: 55 (2018) to 39 (2017) PASSING OFFENSE completions per game: 73rd versus 76th percentage: 79th versus 54th yards per attempt: 53rd versus 58th touchdowns per game: 40th versus 82nd rating: 56th versus 55th yards per game: 64th versus 81st Avg. percentile rating for this category: 61 to 68 RUSHING DEFENSE yards per game: 21st versus 7th touchdowns per game: 10th versus 3rd yards per carry: 18th versus 4th Avg. percentile rating for this category: 16 to 5 RUSHING OFFENSE yards per game: 81st versus 10th touchdowns per game: 80th versus 14th yards per carry: 90th versus 14th Avg. percentile rating for this category: 84 to 13 SCORING DEFENSE touchdowns per game: 24th versus 6th points per game: 22nd versus 10th Avg. percentile rating for this category: 23 to 8 SCORING OFFENSE touchdowns per game: 57th versus 41st points per game: 57th versus 35th Avg. percentile rating for this category: 57 to 38 TOTAL DEFENSE yards per play: 37th versus 8th yards per game: 18th versus 18th plays per game: 8th versus 63rd Avg. percentile rating for this category: 21 to 30 TOTAL OFFENSE yards per play: 80th versus 50th yards per game: 84th versus 41st plays per game: 70th versus 34th Avg. percentile rating for this category: 78 to 42 TURNOVER MARGIN fumbles gained per game: 58th versus 6th interceptions gained per game: 47th versus 31st turnovers gained per game: 52nd versus 9th fumbles lost per game: 7th versus 95th interceptions lost per game: 65th versus 7th turnovers lost per game: 29th versus 41st turnover margin per game: 38th versus 15th Avg. percentile rating for this category: 42 to 29 Lastly, I calculated the average percentile rating for all the stats in all nine categories above. The 2018 result was 50 to 2017's 34. Average stats means the team has shown progress even if the record doesn't show it. GBR! 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Im hella tired so maybe my brain isn’t functioning well enough, but how is 50th better than 34th? EDIT: I didn’t see it was percentile. Never mind!! Quote Link to comment
Decoy73 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Progress, but still a long way to go. Especially on defense. We feel good because Frost and his coaching staff gives us hope and we have a good young quarterback. Take away those two things and not much has changed. Quote Link to comment
