FBS games 1st Q drives (including drives carrying over to the 2nd) for our first 14 games have resulted in an avg of...
Points
SU 6.86 per game
Opp 10.07 per game
Yards
SU 116.57 per game
Opp 111.93 per game
So we are out gaining our opponents, which is good. We are putting up a lot of yards, which is good. But we are giving up way too many yards, which is bad.
Also, all of those yards we are getting have not translated into points, which is bad. While all those yards we have conceded have turned into points, which is bad.
It is kind of crazy that we are 10-4 in FBS games when on avg we start off each game down a FG after a Q of play. Hard to explain the O. But for the D, I think it is coaching. If we had a better game plan and the players were better prepared, we wouldn't have these slow starts to games.
We need to start games better than we have. On O we need to be more efficient with these drives. On D we need to do the opposite of every instinct.
