How to read these figures
- A position’s figure in a game is the total of every player at that position who faced the defense (for example all wide receivers’ receiving yards), averaged over the defense’s games this season.
- Ranks run 1st (allows the most) to last (allows the fewest) among 267 Division I teams with profiles. A few games is a small sample: early-season ranks move quickly.
- Positions are the players’ listed positions; a player used out of position counts at his listed one.
- These are descriptions of past games, not predictions.
