Pass Defense Stats that aren't FS
Sacks coming out of rushing yardage makes zero sense, obviously.
Since I like to avoid my paying job that requires me to work with statistics in order to work with statistics on football for fun, I put together a more senisble set of pass defense stats.
Basically, I have added sacks back into the passing category (in terms of both attempts and net yardage) and am looking at everything on a per dropback (attempts + sacks) basis.
The list is ranked in terms of yards per dropback. The national average on that statistic is 6.27 yds/dropback. So Michigan is allowing almost exactly half of the national average. The Big 10 isn't known for its dynamic passing offenses, but that is pretty crazy.
The Huskies look very good across the board. Clearly the usual caveats in terms of SOS apply, but it is evident how great a combination it is to have a defensive front that can get pressure rushing four with a defensive backfield that can lock down receivers. No shit, right?
But they mentioned on the telecast the other day that every UW sack except for one came when they were rushing four.
By way of comparison, here is how the Huskies' remaining opponents look:
ASU...LOL

I like sacks coming off of rushing yards, because I hate giving up rushing yards. Good analysis tho.

The only minor quibble here is if you move sacks to the passing game (as they should be) you should also move QB scrambles to the passing game. I understand that's not realistic because you have to have eyeballs on every ball (and even then occasionally it might be debatable if it was a scramble or a designed QB run), but if you want a truly comprehensive passing game stat you'd need that info.
Short of that, this is really good chit. -
Really cool chit. You should just quit your job and do this for fun. It's the sensible and responsible thing to do.

Michigan's defense is scary good. I'll say it now: they beat Ohio State and face Warshington in the 2/3 game.

Awesome stuff. How to account for sacks when the ncaa stats are fucktarded has always bothered me.

Stats are for LOOSERS.

No I wouldn't. -
Backing out QB runs would make sense, but isn't practical.

One thing that these stats clearly show is how good the Husky pass defense is at keeping things in front of them and tackling. The Huskies allow the second highest completion percentage of any of the teams ranked in the Top 10, but give up very few explosive plays and relatively few medium big plays.

If they lose it'll be by under 7 points.RoadDawg55 said:

I had been predicting 3 TDs for a while.dnc said:

I have to admit I am starting to recalibrate that a bit.
But Michigan's offense is mediocre and vanilla. Like Harbaugh's Stanford teams, but without Luck, Owusu or Montgomery. -
tOSU had owned Michigan for a decade. I think Michigan has beaten them once since 2006. With it being in Columbus tOSU by 2 TD's.
They outplayed Penn state but because of a couple of fluke ST'S plays lost. Happens -
Looks like a very impartial formula for a stat line.

Well Boobie, I mean like that happened the next week. The limp wrists here were crying about Ezekiel Elliot rightfully dissing his coach. The next week tosu goes into Ann Arbor and plungers Michigan. Ohio State owns Michigan and does until proven otherwise.TierbsHsotBoobs said:
