CFBD advanced season statistics through week 6; all opponents, garbage time included. Rates are supplied season aggregates, not averages of game percentages. Ranks compare the same unit across available SEC teams.

Saved Oct 14, 2026 · 11:34 AM EDT. ESPN’s stuff counts are a separate measure and are not used to reconstruct this rate.

What these measures mean
Stuff rate
Share of eligible rushes stopped at or behind the line of scrimmage. Offense: lower is better. Defense: higher is better.
Power success
Conversion rate on short-yardage power runs. Offense: higher is better; defense: lower is better. Small opportunity counts can produce extreme rates.
Line yards / rush
CFBD’s weighted rushing-yard measure of line contribution per eligible rush; it is not ordinary yards per carry. Offense: higher is better; defense: lower is better.
Havoc rate
CFBD’s disruption measure combining tackles for loss, forced fumbles and passes defended. Lower havoc allowed favors an offense; higher havoc created favors a defense.

Definitions & data coverage
Successful plays
CFBD down-and-distance success rate: at least 50% of needed yards on first down, 70% on second, and 100% on third/fourth. This differs from a scoring drive.
Points per scoring opportunity
CFBD points per possession reaching the opponent’s 40-yard line; this is not a red-zone percentage.
Missing data
A dash means unavailable. Return averages use pooled yards and returns, never an average of game averages.
