Well, the Khan index is down to 7.35 from a whopping 8.875 last week, which is trending in the right direction. It needs to be solidly under 6 in order to be a legitimate ACC title contender.
Week 1: 7.75
Week 2: 8.875
Week 3: 7.375
Thanks for putting the stats together every week, WV Wolf.
Among the country’s worst in sacks allowed, and tackles for loss allowed.
Likewise, I never thought we would be ranked among the worst teams in the country in pass defense. I don’t know how we ‘adjusted’ our usual D to put Amerson on an island.
BTW, who is the person in the conference ahead of Amerson to date this year?
Ross Cockrell from Duke has 3 picks, 1 vs Stanford and 2 vs Central
The STATE pass def against Tenn. was used by ESPN as an example of how Florida should not defend against there pass offense .Our def coaching sucks.
There is only 1 person in the nation who believes Archer is a solid defensive coach. Unfortunately that 1 person is also our Head Coach.
Unfortunately the numbers say it all. Very sobering.
I was definitely hoping to see more of an uptick in our offensive stats after playing south Alabama. We can thank a mediocre second half for that. Can’t hope for too much this year. 9 wins would be over achieving for this squad. Maybe we’ll figure something out after FSU wipes the floor with us.
