- led Big 12 in redzone D (including OOC)
- 4th in redzone D in Big 12 play
- 5th in Big 12 in 3rd down defense
- 4th in 3rd down defense in Big 12 play
There was a good article a few years ago where Mack Brown had some individuals study the things all national championship teams did well.
The most important statistic defensively....passing efficiency D, not rushing D. Not that rushing D isn't important but passing efficiency D most important.
Example:
Rush D
Texas '05 - 3.7 ypc, 130 ypg (7th in Big 12 and 33rd nationally) - by comparison KSU '05 3.5 ypc and 30th nationally.
Texas '06 - 2.3 ypc, 61.2 ypg (1st in Big 12 and 3rd nationally)
Pass Efficiency D
Texas '05 - 96.7 (1st in Big 12 and 4th nationally)
Texas '06 - 131.8 (9th in Big 12 and 75th nationally)
I wonder which UT squad won the national title?
Think of it another way and reverse it...which KSU offense of the Snyder teams seemed to struggle the most? Aside from the past few seasons look at the 2001 offense which had such a good rushing O but was terrifyingly dreadful as a passing team. Average defenses were eventually going to stop that rushing attack on drives...that team was not going to go 60-80 yards on the ground every time. The reason that offense struggled so mightily is because it ranked 112th out of 115 NCAA teams in passing efficiency.
The Kansas game last season. The beaks didn't win that game because of their rushing offense. They won it because they scored 3 TD's directly off turnovers. (fumble in endzone, tipped pass int'd by Webb, and flukey return by DL inside the 5) = 21 of 39 points despite the rushing yardage.

the 1999 KSU defense was tops in KSU history in total defense. But that defense actually surrendered 3.2 ypc in rush D..by comparison the '05 rushing D gave up 3.5 ypc. So the rush D while solid was not spectacular.
What was spectacular was that the '99 pass efficiency D led the nation by a full 20 points.
A stat that is nuts...only 5 TD passes allowed vs. 21 interceptions.

F U fatty.
But I did say it was from Mack. I know you read that article. There were a few exceptions though I'm not sure if that was one of them reported. Good find on that...3rd in rush D and 32nd in pass eff. D.

^That Mack Brown stuff is interesting, even if fats disagrees.

But the cheating offset the crappy pass defense.

The team that had vince young?

fatty...it appears you found the only exception.
'99 - '06...'02 OSU the only pass eff. D not rated better 15th or better.
Pass Eff D (rush D)
'99 FSU - 15 (10)
'00 OU - 2nd (23)
'01 Miami - 1st (40)
'02 OSU - fatty sucks
'03 LSU - 2nd (3rd) :eek:
'04 USC - 9th (1st)
'05 Tejas - 4th (33)
'06 Florida - 4th (5th)
Pass Effic D > 15 = '02 Bucks
Rush D > 15 = '00 OU, '01 Miami, '05 UT
Mack >>>> fatty

Great stuff. NU's pass efficiency defense was ranked 13th in the nation.
-
That's only bc they played ksu ISU and colorado.

And I quote from gameday Live the other day...
"Rudy Carpenter survived that Sam Keller meltdown"...

Remember, 02 OSU had close games all season and needed about a million breaks to win the MNC which I think only helps Hatter's theory.

I wouldn't consider their games vs. Texas Tech, Kent State, Washington State, Indiana, San Jose St., or Minnesota all that "close."
