I brought this up on Twitter a while back because it kept feeling like we started out every game by giving up points. So I did some research. I went back the last two years and looked up how often under Baker the opposing team scored on their opening drive. I did this against only P5 schools.
10 out of 18 games we gave up a first drive score, that is 55% of our games.
That’s an awful figure and even more scary when you throw in that only 3 of those 10 were FG. Which means in 39% of our games we gave up opening drive touchdowns.
we were very bad about making the opposing team settle into a game. I know we need to see a lot of changes but we can’t keep playing from behind week after week. And if we want to take the next step we need to score, stop the other team and score again. Not end up tied.
