**Reminder that FCS games and garbage-time possessions are not included in these numbers***
Offensive Points Per Drive:
Texas Tech - 2.09 points per offensive possession. 75th in the country. At this point in the season, it's fair to call it what it is -- a bad P5 offense.
(conf only) - 2.35 points per drive. 9th in the conference.
Kansas - 3.24 points per offensive possession. 13th in the country
(conf only) - 3.09 points per drive. 2nd in the conference.
Back to back to back weeks, Tech's defense will be facing one of the best offenses in the country.
Offensive TD Percentage:
Texas Tech - 25.2% of possessions end with a TD play. 78th in the country.
(conf only) - 28.4% of conference possessions result in TDs. 8th in the conference.
Kansas - 42.9% of possessions end with a TD play. 10th in the country. The production this year at Kansas -- with multiple QBs -- blows my mind. They have one of the best schemes in the country right now.
(conf only) - 41.1% of drives have been TDs. Best in the conference (tied with TCU).
Offensive Turnover Percentage:
Texas Tech - 16.5% of possessions end with a turnover. 124th in the country.
(conf only) - 14.9% of possessions end with a turnover. Last in the conference.
Kansas - 9.5% of possessions end with a turnover. 37th in the country.
(conf only) - 8.9% of conf possessions are turned over. 2nd in the conference.
Offensive Yards Per Play:
Texas Tech - 5.09 yards per play. 98th in the country. We are methodical and turnover prone.
Kansas - 7.09 yards per play. 8th in the country.
Yards Gained per Big 12 Drive:
Texas Tech - 35.3 yards per drive. 8th in the conference.
Kansas -- 43.9 yards gained per drive. #1 in the conference.
I thought there was a chance our offense could be problematic this year. Like, if everything possible went against us -- QB injuries, the OL really being as bad as it seemed, WRs not stepping up, Kittley's insane production coming back to Earth, bad turnover luck, etc. Well, we're living in that worst-case scenario, and it's actually worse than I imagined it would be.
There is still some "good" offense lying dormant inside of us somewhere. And it's actually likely to show up this Saturday considering how bad Kansas' defense is. But man... this offense is painful to watch.
It's even more painful when you think about Kansas -- freakin' Kansas!!! -- playing the way they are on that side of the ball, despite having their best player knocked out for most of the year. They have a real-life schematic advantage. All the coaches they play against rave about it. I want to have that....
Defensive Points Per Drive:
Texas Tech - 2.32 points allowed per possession. 79th in the country.
(conf only) - 2.58 points allowed per drive. 6th in the conference.
Kansas - 2.95 points allowed per possession. 114th in the country.
(conf only) - 2.9 points allowed per drive. 8th in the conference.
Defensive TD Percentage:
Texas Tech - 25% of possessions end with opponents running a TD play. 48th in the country.
(conf only) - 29.6% of conf. opponents' possessions are TDs. 5th in the league.
Kansas - 37.6% of possessions end with opponents running a TD play. 115th in the country.
(conf only) - 37.3% of drives end with opponent TD. 8th in the conference.
Defensive Turnover Percentage:
Texas Tech - 11.5% of opponents' possessions end with a turnover. 59th in the country.
(conf. only) - 11.9% -- 4th in the conference.
Kansas - 17.6% of opponents' possessions end with a turnover. 6th in the country.
(conf. only) - 19.6% -- 2nd in the conference (behind Baylor... you're welcome, Baylor)
Defensive Yards Per Play:
Texas Tech - 5.54 yards allowed per play. 47th in the country.
Kansas - 6.24 yards allowed per play. 101st in the country.
Yards Allowed per Big 12 Drive:
Texas Tech - 34.8 yards per drive. 4th in the conference.
Kansas -- 56 yards allowed per drive. Last in the conference by an enormous margin.
It's unfortunate the Texas Tech defense doesn't get to play the Texas Tech offense like all the other Big 12 schools -- it would really help our defense's numbers out. Last week's defensive performance was really, really good. We have good players at the most important positions on the field on defense (cover guy / pass rusher). It's the opposite right now on offense (QB / LT / WR).
Kansas' defense is extremely Kansas-like. It can be had. Big time. There's no excuse not to move the football this Saturday like a normal P5 progrum should. I don't care who's playing QB. We should score 30+ points. If not....
Ryan left it all out on the field in everything he did. In his honor, we bring you Fields of Gold, so that others facing bone cancer can keep on playing. A portion of proceeds from every case sold is donated to The Little Warrior Foundation.
