Especially, considering some of the QBs and offensive styles we've faced.
 



16 times in 61 games from 2006 to 2010.

5/57 = .0877
16/61 = .262

So there is a big difference there, but I would be interested to see what the percentages are for other B1G teams the same years.

It is an interesting trivia piece but it is one of those stats that could mean a lot of different things. The Big Ten is not a pass happy league at all right now so 300 yard passing games are not the norm and have not been for a while. We also are not blowing teams out on offense meaning they don't have to throw a ton to try and play catchup.

All that said it certainly points to what we all have been well aware of, we have had a really solid secondary that makes passing tough on most of the teams we play.
 

None of teams we held under 300-yards were good so it doesn't 'really' count.
