Yards Per Play

[skurey]

The good news: We are ahead of Tennessee in offensive yards per play
The bad news: We are 2nd to last in the entire country in defensive yards per play
Shocking news: Someone gives up more yards per play than we do

the struggle to make 3 plays in a row, is killer.

While I think it's pretty clear we have issues on defense, there's a common denominator between 4 of the bottom 6 teams in YPP allowed.

We are #127. The only team worse than us in YPP allowed, Marshall (#128), also played Louisville in their first 5 games. As did #126 Charlotte, and #122 Florida State. Are all those teams really in the bottom 5% of defenses, or did Louisville skew the stats?
