CU Buffaloes Potential Yards Gained

One of the metrics I think that is under-studied is just how well teams eat p the field and flip field position.  Some folks have done some work in it, but I'm going to really look at it this season to try and suss out some ideas about teams.

I'll post here the results for my alma mater, the Colorado Buffaloes.  This week starts with a not so great game against the Colorado State Rams.  The Buffs got it done, but there's a lot of  red to orange on there.

UPDATE: Added the Texas State game, where the first half has a lot of bad colors for the Buffs, while second half gets a bit better

UPDATE: A really rough set of drives for the Buffs defense against FCS UNC

UPDATE: The Buffs actually moved the ball pretty well against the Huskies.   It was inopportune turnovers that killed them.

UPDATE: Mistakes killed the Buffs in LA this weekend.  They moved the ball pretty effectively all game, but not finishing drives in the endzone did them in.

UPDATE: The defense only had one drive where the Wildcats gained less than 70% of the potential yards needed.  Too many big plays and not being able to get a stop at the end doomed CU.  The offense was solid for the most part at least, hopefully next week the Buffs get back on it.

UPDATE: The Buffs defense bent but didn't break in the first half, allowing the offense time to gather itself for the second half surge.  Far too many wasted drives though made this supposed blowout a toss up.

UPDATE: THe offense had one drive go for over 50% of the needed yards.  That will not win any games at any level.

UPDATE: Lots of green for the offense this week,  only 4 drives failed to gain 50% of the yardage needed.  The defense did its job for the most part, forcing 5 failed drives and adding a interception score.

UPDATE: This one hurts.  The defense let the ASU run game just swap them, and the offense in the second half gained at least 50% of the yardage on 2 of 8 drives, and on half of them failed to generate more than 15%.
