We should chat about the Oklahoma State defense for a bit. Glenn Spencer and Co. got railroaded there at the very end of the year and ended up ranked No. 70 in the country in defensive efficiency — that is points allowed per possession — at 2.20 per possession.
That’s the worst number OSU has allowed since 2008. Lower is better on this graph. All numbers found here.
Now, they were facing some elite offensive teams (which matters) so I went back and looked at how many offenses OSU kept below their season average in points scored per drive.
