How to read this page

▶

Team tables split by side of the ball, and the Side control hides the half you are not reading. What a team allowed is what its opponents gained, so the allowed tables are the offensive ones read from the other end. The roster is everyone who recorded a stat line, because the source holds no roster of its own — a player who never got on the field is absent. A dash means no number for that cell, or a zero in a roster column that counts.

Michigan State Spartans

2021 · Regular Season · Big Ten · Power 5

Worth a lookMichigan State Spartans come in 5th of 130 teams in starting field position given up, at 74.5.

1 is best, whichever way the stat runs — a defensive row at 1 allowed the fewest. The count after each slash is how many teams were placed; a rate skips those with too small a sample. Red to green by where the placing sits. A stat with no better end is left unpainted.

About College Football Research

▶

Every number the site holds for a college football team and the players who played for it, in one place. Pick a team, a season and a set of games, and read it. Nothing here needs an account.

Where the numbers come from

The same tables the boards read, resolved through one shared definition per stat. A rate is computed over the whole window rather than averaged across games, so a season figure is not the mean of the nightly ones.
