Benchmarks, KSU Style

So, now the benchmark report for the BG-Kent game.  Pretty much these numbers are pretty sweet for the Falcons.  Let's take a look.

The running/play was above average, and both the passing metrics are well above the MAC average.  Plus, BG completed 76% of its passes.  You'll note something that says sweet spot up there, which is when teams can average a sack-adjusted 12 yards per completion and still complete 60% of their passes.  (The idea is that teams usually boost one at the expense of the other, but when you have them both, you are being highly productive.)

BG's yards per play was outstanding.

On the downside, BG did give up 3 sacks, which is a lot given the relatively small number of passes we threw.  BG played turnover free ball, however, and was absolutely deadly in the red zone.

For the game, Kent's offensive numbers are not too bad.  They had a nice day running when you factor out the sacks, though for the second straight week BG forced a run-dominant team to try to be a pass-dominant team.  In the end, their yards per play was below the MAC average.  Kent was perfect in the red zone and their punter is an absolute bomber.

Anyway, that's what something like that looks like.  Great to see those offensive numbers.
