Much has been said about QB play over the past 2+ seasons about inconsistency, inability to sustain drives, etc. So, I charted every drive since Cumbie arrived to try to quantify this discussion. I looked at 4 drive-based statistics for the 5 QBs who have played significant time in the past 2+ years. These stats are FBS opponents only.
Through 23 FBS games under Cumbie, we have had 267 drives. 32% have been 3 and out and 35% have resulted in some points. We have only had 23 11+ play drives out of 267 total drives. Bachmeier and Lyddy combined for 15 of them. Turner only has 3 through his 67 drives led. None of those have been this year.
All this to say, we don’t do a good job sustaining drives. The 32% of 3 and outs takes a toll on our defense.
