Digging into the numbers

SU is 14th in offensive plays run, 15th in pass plays called. Play calling is close to 50/50 run pass (121 called passes vs 115 run plays, I count sacks as pass plays, not going to worry about scrambles).

Yardage is about 2:1 pass to run.

Offensive is doing a very good job in pass protection, picking up where they left off last year.

Run game, steady progression after a rough start ( yeah I get it, Wagner), but for SU success running last year was about tempo, pre snap reads, and getting defenses in a bind, not dominating the LOS. Need to keep improving here.

After a very rough start the offense is starting to look like it can be pretty good, key will be to really untrack the run game, if they can, watch out.

Keeping the D at a high level will give SU a chance against anyone going forward. Still fear for the secondary some, but maybe they'll fall into place.

One number I'm curious about is how many players have played in just 3 games., especially compared to past years.
