Per Footballoutsider....VTs O and D are given 2 efficiency rankings which account for the strength of the opposing units O or D, garbage time, big plays given up or made on O and D, red zone, and critical times....etc. Below are the ranking as of today for VT out of 128 teams....
Offense
Ranked 78th and 68th for an average of 73rd in the country.
Defense
Ranked 65th and 28th for an average of 46.5 in the country.
"Hey, our O is playing better than our D this year.". LMAO......emotion, not supported by facts. As a matter of fact, even in the year of 2015 with this once in a decade-down defense, it's still not even close.
Also......the Ole " our D let's us down at critical times" or the ole "running Qb argument" and "big run plays or plays over 20 yards".......well, that's ALSO accounted and measured in their statistical formulas. Again.....its not even close. Once again in 2015....our Offense remains FAR more of a problem that our defense.
Just the facts man.
