In year two Willie Fritz’s Cougars have taken a huge step forward. Just how solid have the Cougars been on their way to an 8-3 start? The numbers can paint a more detailed picture.

This is Part 2 of my Baylor-Utah preview, covering the Utes’ recent statistical performance.

How good is LSU in different phases of the game?  With drive counts, styles of play, and other factors making things tougher to read we can take a closer look at a few numbers to see exactly where the strengths and weaknesses lie.

WVU has had an interesting season with different starting QB's, a replacement at Defensive Coordinator and several close games. What do the stats say about them this fall?

This offense has tons of speed, a high-level QB, and a line that doesn’t match. They have improved defensively so far. This will be another good barometer for Baylor’s revamped offense.

Air Force and other service academies are typically hard to track with most “common” statistical figures.

This is part one of my Baylor-Tarleton preview covering stats.  The rest of the series will cover their schemes and roster.

This is part two of my Baylor-WVU preview covering their statistics. Part one covered their roster and part three will cover their scheme.

This offense has been effective at generating yardage. The big drop-off for the offense is scoring drive percentage and points per red zone trip.

The K-State offense has been really strong for most of the year. Oklahoma State and Texas slowed them down yardage-wise but they have been consistently productive this fall.

Despite personnel losses, the Cyclones are still producing better than in 2022.

The Bearcat offense has been up and down this season in yards per drive while struggling to finish drives. Their defense has done well relative to other teams against their schedule other than ISU.

How have the 2023 Bears performed statistically? Where might be some areas to build around?

The Red Raider offense has had some really productive games against Oregon and Houston but was slowed down significantly by Wyoming and WVU. The Texas Tech defense has been holding teams below their typical yards per drive in every game other than Houston.

It's the first time in a decade Baylor faces UCF. How good is this year's version statistically?

Texas represents a partial rebuild as he has wildly upgraded the talent over what Tom Herman left him so while UT wasn’t bad under Tom they are clearly taking steps forward under Sark.

Long Island is showing the commitment needed to build a relevant FCS program off the field and the on-field results are going to lag behind that.

Utah is one of the toughest matchups on Baylor’s schedule. How good are they? We’ll dive into the numbers and get a clear picture.
