Very interesting analysis of 2025 B1G play from the standpoint of various "negative play" metrics. Produced by a stat-obsessed Oregon Ducks blogger. Many takeaways, but the one most meaningful to me is that, of B1G teams, only Indiana was better than Minnesota at ball security. Very impressive for a team with a first-year-starting, RF QB. Might be related in part to how little the Gophs threw deep balls, but still a very good stat.

He’s no Graham Mertz….when it comes to throwing catastrophic interceptions to safeties in high impact situations. Now he just needs some help. Tell me we got him some help…

We got some new options ... time will tell. If we can go from having the least productive running game in the B1G to one that is at least middle of the pack, that alone will be meaningful help for Lindsay and the receivers.
 

The "discipline" chart is interesting. The 4 Pac-12 schools are in the bottom 5 of the conference. Curious what the Duck board thinks of that statistic, given the relative "well-documented laxity" of B1G officials. Not saying that is wrong, just that if they weren't so lax, the Pac-12 teams would go from bad to god-awful.

Isn't pass on every down what GHers have longed for?
