Stats majors, feel free to beat me up, but I tried to come up with some benchmarks to measure how well the D performs in the final five games.

Through six games, the LU D has given up an average of 155 ypg and 19 points per game more than our opponents’ seasonal averages in those categories.

If that trend continues, here’s what our opponents could do:

GT: 417 yards, 34 points
FU: 529 yards, 40 points
BU: 409 yards, 39 points
HC: 592 yards, 46 points
LC: 397 yards, 32 points

Could one argue that if the D does better than the numbers above, it has improved? It would be a low bar but … we have the worst Total D in the nation now. Can’t get worse.

LU has averaged 33 points per game, which I’m guessing is more than the average defense it played has given up.

The O will have to be on top of its game the next five weeks unless the D improves.
