SU by far has faced the most pass attempts against. Thing is they are 37th in comp % allowed, 45th in yds per att. 63rd in qb rating against, tied 44th in int with 3. They have given up 9 tds, which is 122nd and only have 4 sacks with all of those drop backs.

It’s not awful, certainly not close to what it looks like just looking at yds allowed, but if teams are going to throw it 50 times a game, you would hope it would lead to more sacks and ints.

SU actually had the best pass defense performance against UT and UConn. Clemson had their best day but it came with 61 attempts attached in catch up mode where SU was determined not to give up a quick score and had a 20 pt lead until late.

Colgate not great in the 2nd half, a lot of rotation, skews the numbers.
 
I think our defense has definitely stepped it up from last season. Duke will give us problems though surely.
