We’re in the midst of Maryland’s bye week. That means affording ourselves some time off from football games to dig into the team’s off-field issues, but it also means we have some time to step back and take a macro view of the season. Some thoughts:
Maryland’s explosiveness is off the charts. Efficiency, less so.
Maryland’s offense ranks sixth in isoPPP, Bill Connelly’s measure of explosiveness. The Terps’ D ranks 42nd in explosive plays rate allowed, per that same stat. Marginal explosiveness, Bill C.’s stat that dives a little deeper into big-play creation by adjusting for down, distance, and yard line, loves the Terrapins.
