Was reading a Dave Matter article this morning and it listed some stats on the 2020 offense:
"Without the luxury of nonconference cupcakes, the Tigers improved in every offensive category from 2019, more subtle in some spots. Scoring improved (25.3 points per game to 26.7) and yards per game increased (374.3 to 402). The offense cut down on sacks allowed (2.3 per game to 1.6) and had a slight drop in turnovers (1.4 to 1.2 per game)."
Does anyone know if P5 offense as a whole increased this year? Or where you can find these stats to compare the numbers above with? It seemed many offenses were able to sling it and move the ball better this year due to lack of defensive practice reps each team had. My gut feeling is that the limited practice hurt defenses much more than offenses. There is no doubt Drink improved the offense, just curious to see these numbers in some context to P5 as a whole.
