OU football: Big 12 efficiency, Sooners finish first in offense, sixth in defense

The polls are closed. All the precincts have reported. And OU’s offense remains as historic as ever.

My 2019 Big 12 efficiency ratings are complete, with the completion of the conference schedule. And the Sooners’ offensive dominance virtually matches the offensive dominance of a year ago.

Which is impressive, since the Big 12 had a defensive uprising this season.

I rank offenses and defenses based on how often they do their primary job. How often does the offense score? How often does the defense keep the opponent from scoring? I count touchdowns as full credit, field goals as half credit, and divide by possessions.
