We put out a poll on Tuesday to see which unit you guys have been most impressed with. It ended about how I thought it would (50/50), which I think is pretty interesting. The offense has (obviously) been elite throughout the first quarter of the season, but the defense has been nearly as good (without all the fanfare).
Let’s look at Glenn Spencer’s guys first.
Defensive PPD
This is a cumulative number so after Game 1, OSU’s PPD allowed was 1.21, and after Game 3 its PPD allowed overall was 1. Through three games, the Pokes have faced 38 drives and given up 38 points (note: special teams gaffes like what happened on Saturday against Pitt do not count against the defense for our purposes).
