John White the Fourth is Utah's running game. He has accounted for 86% of all running back carries for the Utes in 2011 including 95% of the rushing yards for the 2011 Ute squad. White transferred from L.A. Harbor College as a juco conference player of the year (Central West Conference) and...

Hokie Defense Suffers from Tooth Decay
The Hokies have been on the decline defensively since 2008. In 2008, their defense only gave up a touchdown to an opposing offense 15% of all ACC drives. In 2009, it went up to 15.29%. In 2010, it went up again to 18.56%. And in 2011, it's a startling 24.07% of the time. The Hokies are giving...
The Georgia Tech Ballhawks
Tech has picked off 11 passes already in 2011. We only picked off 8 all of last year. For comparison's sake, we picked off a pass every 46 times the ball was let loose in 2010. In 2011 on the other hand, we've picked a pass every 24 attempts. That's a pretty damn good drop for our defense...

Georgia Tech Football: The Defensive Adjustment That Turned The Kansas Game Around
Al Groh makes great second half adjustments and it was evident against the Kansas Jayhawks. If you follow me on twitter then you surely know that my attitude in the first half was not very good. Kansas was converting third downs (5 for 8) too easily and they weren't short gains either. The Georgia...
Defensive Benchmarks for the 2011 Georgia Tech Football Team
I already talked about some basic offensive benchmarks for tracking the progression of the 2011 offensive season. Today, I want to talk about some interesting defensive benchmarks. The first one is the one that was probably the most erratic of the three CPJ-GT squads: sacks. In 2008, Tech had 34...
