One stat I didn't see is sacks allowed. We have allowed 3 and that ranks 2nd or 3rd nationally I believe.

The number of penalties committed is one of the most impressive stats to me.

We are ranked 106th, with 67 committed.

MTSU is ranked 21st with 108 committed, and the national leader is Troy with 138.

We were 97th in DMAC's first year, and 29th in Dodge's last, big important turn around.

ETA: Obviously, being ranked very low is what you want in the Penalties Committed stat.

ETA2: Air Force/Navy are tied for dead last in that nation with 57, next to last is Army with 60. I guess good discipline does lead to fewer penalties.
