The Years of Living Defensively

Hi everybody! It’s August, which means I’m back for another ~9-month stretch of Monday morning columns. This is the first of a four-part 2019 season preview from me (in addition to a bunch of other great content from the entire CGB crew). Welcome to football season!

In 2015, the Missouri Tigers allowed 194 points. That’s an average of just a touch over 16 points allowed per game. Their non-conference schedule wasn’t exactly a murderer’s row, but allowing so few points against any SEC schedule is still damned impressive.

That same year, the Boston College Eagles allowed 183 points.
