Offensive numbers on a slide

Arkansas State knows it has to rely on its offense if it's going to win games. The Red Wolves enter the final three weeks of the season with the Sun Belt Conference's worst defensive success rate -- a binary metric that determines whether a play is successful based on the number of yards given down and distance.

If an offensive play gains 50% of the yards to go on first down, 70% on second down or 100% on third or fourth down, it's deemed successful.

It's no shocker given ASU's standing as one of the worst defenses in the nation that opponents have posted a nearly 50% success rate.
