General musings (ignoring teams who have played just 1 game):
Offense:
Colorado is the P5 program running the ball most: 52 att/gm
6 teams are completing over 70% of their passes, 5 are completing under 50%
Kent State and Western Michigan are off the scale offensively, but have played only 3 games each
MSU is turning the ball over 3.5 times per game.
New Mexico is the only team averaging exactly the same number of runs and passes (36.8)
Georgia State, however, is the most balanced offense by yardage (209.3 pass/207.3 rush)
Miss State is dead last in rushing yards per game...by 45 yards, averaging under 22 yds/gm.
Florida is first in TD passes/gm (4.7), 1.0 ahead of 2nd place. That's the same difference as between 2nd and 21st.
UCF is averaging 86 plays per game, Boise State, under 50.
Stanford is gaining 4.0 first downs per game on penalties. Great, right?! Except that the Cardinal are also averaging that many first downs per game rushing. Ouch.
.
Defense:
MSU (Spartans) and MSU (Bulldogs) both lead the country in throwing 2 INTs per game....but the Dawgs are doing it with almost 19 more pass attempts per game.
N'Western and IU lead the country, forcing 3 turnovers per game. Eh, it's probably nothing.
4 teams are allowing under 50% of passes to be completed, 7 are allowing over 70%
Wisconsin and N'Western lead the P5 in points allowed per game. Anyone take the over??
Kansas is allowing 48.4 pts/gm - more than a TD worse than the next P5 team (Ole Miss).
Marshall leads the country in rushing yards allowed per game AND per carry.
Wisconsin leads in per game among P5 teams, Pitt in per carry.
LSU is dead last among P5 teams in yards passing allowed per game.
Wisconsin faces the fewest rushing attempts per game, so their opponents aren't stupid.
Maryland allows the most first downs per game in the country. Ole Miss leads for teams that have played over 3 games.
Southern Cal faces over 7 plays fewer than anyone else in the country so far.
Minnesota is dead last among P5 teams, allowing 7.7 yds per play. LSU is next-worst.
