We lost some great players, and had a lot of young guys in there. I wanted to see what the differences were last year to this year.

Last year, It seemed like a great coach avoided the run game with 3 guys that were less than 100 yards from putting up 3000 yards on the ground. They only attempted 26 total rushes. UP TO 7 of those were the QB who finished with negative yards. But the backs:

Raymond Calais 9 79 8.8 2019 vs
Raymond Calais 1 9 9.0 2018

Trey Ragas 9 63 7.0 2019 vs
Trey Ragas 7 49 7.0 2018

Elijah Mitchell 14 31 2.2 2019 vs
Elijah Mitchell 6 0 0.0 2018.

2018 they had (just RBs) 58 yards on 14 attempts. 4.1 ypc

2019 they had (just Rbs) 173 yards on 32 attempts. 5.4 ypc


2 different QBs but compare them anyway:

2018 QB rushing Nunez was 7 for negative 4
2019 QB rushing Lewis was 6 for negative 10.

As you can see, the difference was really in the amount of attempts on running at us. The ULL coach avoided it last year and attacked us there this year and we had a drop off of 1.3 yards per carry. This is the area we have all been looking at.



On to Pass Defense:

2019: ULL QB was 24/39 that is 61%. He threw 2 picks.
2018: ULL QB was 21/29 that is 72%. He threw 1 pick.

Passing yards allowed 2018 245
Passing yards allowed 2019 268



Sacks, TFL, PD etc

2019 1 Sack, 3 TFLs, and 2 PDs. The stats show no QB Hurries, but I remember him being flushed.
2018 2 Sack, 8 TFLs, and 1 PDs. The stats show 3 QB hurries.



Total yards given up

2019: 430
2018: 310

That's 120 yards difference. 98 of that was on the ground via 12 extra carries.
