Message: [QUOTE="GoSU96, post: 840338, member: 114"] All this is based on CFBStats rankings. Against the 11 D1A opponents they faced 53% (1164 or 2198) of the yards gained on the season came in four games against the 106th, 112th, 117th, and 125 ranked run defenses. SU is ranked 28th in run defense. In the four games Minnesota played against teams with higher ranked run defenses they averaged 98 yds per game and 2.61 yds per carry. SU played three teams ranked just above Minnesota (52nd) on run defense Maryland (47), BC (50), and Clemson (51) and averaged 258 yds rushing. SU's run defense is an undersold story. They gave up 1621 in 11 D1A games this year. Against GT (6th Rushing Off), BC (20th), and FSU (27th) they gave up 811 yds, 270 ave. In the remaining 8 games they gave up 810, 101 ave. Minnesota is alot closer to those 8 teams than they are to GT, BC, and FSU. [/QUOTE]
