Benchmark Report, Redhawk Editon

A few interesting notes on this report...some of the numbers just jump out at you.

First, between the INTs and the six sacks, Miami had negative outcomes on 17% of their pass plays, well more than double the normal percentage.  Almost 1 in 5 times they dropped back to pass something bad happened.

BG's passing offense was very efficient.  When you complete that high a percentage with above average yards per attempt and reception, you are being very effective with the passing game and getting some nice yardage, even if you might not have eye-popping numbers.

Speaking of efficient, BG needed only 13 yards to get a point, which is better than average and indicative of a team making the most of its opportunities--even as BG continued to struggle in the red zone.

With the sack out, BG got 6 yards per rush.

Even better, BG made a first down on almost 2 of every 5 plays it ran.  That's pretty dang good.

BG ran the ball 61% of the time.  That is similar to the percent for the Akron game....look for it to be in this range moving forward.  It is a blinding statement of the obvious to say that BG will be difficult to beat with these numbers in any game.
