I brought this up before but ever since Shrader came back vs Wake the team has played at as consistently a high level as the best teams post Robinson.

If they can keep this up, watch out.

Record 5-2
3 home, 3 away, 1 neutral
4 P5, 2 non, 1 FCS

7 games over 403 total offense,  — compares well with 11 of 13 over 418 in 2012, 10 of 13 over 416 in 2018
6 of 7 over 245 passing, — compares well 9 of 13 246 or more in 2012, 8 of 12 293 or more in 2016, 9 of 12 278 or more in 2017, 8 of ‘12 2019 249 or more
6 of 7 over 147 rushing — compares ok with going 165 or more in 9 of 12 games in 2021, 140 or more in 9 of 13 in 2018
6 of 7 over 29 pts, —-  compares well with  2018, 11 of 13 30 or more
6 of 7 over 6.32 yds per play.

Defense 5 of 7 under 341 yds, — best since 6 straight under 315 in 2010
5 of 7 under 4.61 yds per play, — compares well with 10 of 13 under 4.73 in 2010
5 of 7 under 100 yds rushing allowed, — best since at least 2009
6 of 7 under 28 pts, — compares well with 10-13 in 2010, 8 of 13 under 27 in 2018, 9 of 13 28 or more in 2012
4 straight games under 20 allowed, — first time since 2001, which had 5 straight 17 or less.

The thing to note is these comparisons are to teams that many times had holes.    The defensIve numbers compare with the best defensive teams since 2001, which in 2001, 2009, 2010 were defensive first teams that played very ball control/punt offense.

On offense the numbers compare well with the two best offensive teams in the last 25 years, while playing strong defense.   It isn’t heavy pass, weak run like 16 and 17 or heavy run, struggle to pass in 2021.
