Bye Week Breakdown 2: Defense

Last week I did a deeper dive on Missouri’s offense through eight games. You can find it here.

This week we do the same for the defense. Here we go!

Overall Defensive Ranks

Again, regression as expected after this stretch of games since Mizzou wouldn’t be shutting out two bad teams in this set. The explosive plays have stayed almost exactly the same while success rate allowed has increased by about 6 percentage points (which is a bad thing for defense). The average field position has improved slightly while havoc rate and points allowed per opportunity also improved noticeably.
