In the preseason, there was a talking point regarding the impact on a defense when the offense goes really fast. Through 8 games in 2022, the OU defense has played an average of 77 snaps per game. This is the highest total since at least 2000 (and maybe the highest # of snaps ever). On those 77 snaps, we have given up an average of .373 points per play.
2022: .373 points per play / 77 plays per game
Under TBOW, only in the covid year of 2020 did we give up fewer points per play than we have so far in 2022.
2021: .380 ppp / 67.8 ppg
2020: .322 ppp / 67.5 ppg
2019: .432 ppp / 63.2 ppg
2018: .450 ppp / 74 ppg
2017: .401 ppp / 67.6 ppg
I know TBOW defenses are not a high standard to compare too but even with as bad as it has looked at times this year, maybe BV is showing the early signs of getting the ship turned.
