Great point, and in addition our opponents have committed a total of only 20  yards of penalties!   That 20 yards puts us LAST in the nation in opponents penalties.   We have not gotten a pass interference,  targeting (should have vs Ohio), defensive holding, and I don’t think even an offsides on the defense.   Last week we only punted twice, without any help from a first down on a penalty.   I don’t see too many defenses slowing us down.

also, our defense has not been the beneficiary of ANY penalties that put our opponents in long situations.  Our opponents apparently have committed zero holding penalties.   (2 penalties per game, 10 yards per game).   I it looks like 4 false start penalties.   The #67 team in the middle of the rankings benefits from seven penalties and 56 yards a game.   If our opponents just committed an average number of penalties, I imagine we would have much better defensive numbers, since penalties, especially holding are drive killers.

Unfortunately, Stanford is the eighth least penalized team in the nation.

Pitt and Cal are very undisciplined at 75 and 80 yards per game.
