[QUOTE="OskeeWowzer, post: 1482888, member: 746201"] YPP is something Iowa and Minnesota struggle with mightily. But they are in the top half of the B1G when it comes to fewest yards/game. The math is very simple to follow: if you give up a lot of yards per play, limit the number of plays you are on defense. The best way to do this? Stop going 1-12 on third downs. Possess the ball longer than 26 minutes a game. Quit being boom or bust on offense (both of which result in sub two minute drives). On a side note, I would like to see how our yards per play look as the game goes on. Someone posted a very interesting stat about Illinois’ first 50 defensive plays vs the plays after that. Isn’t like to see that stat across the first 4 games. [/QUOTE]
