Damn, go service academies!  Army, Air Force and Navy take home the top three rushing attacks in the land.  The problem for the aforementioned, is that they are sorely lacking in a number of other areas and have a combined 7-14 record.

The B1G has 4 of the top 26 and 8 of the top 50 rushing attacks.  Just wait until you see the passing statistics and it’s clear that the 2011 version of the B1G clearly lacks solid passing attacks and is full of fairly solid rushing attacks.

Houston is all over the place, but you don’t even need to look at their schedule to know that they are probably not playing much competition.

Notice anything missing here?  Not really, except for the fact that there are 25 teams listed there and not one of them belongs to the Big Ten Conference.

Wow, Ohio State passing stats are comically poor including their weak MAC non-conference opponents.  If you take away Ohio State’s 293 yard passing performance against Akron in the opener and 189 yards against Toledo in the following game, Ohio State is averaging a mind-blowing 82.6 yards/game (!) via an average of 6 completions/game.  That’s what puts your passing attack at 115th in the nation.

Ohio State is not alone in it’s passing futility.  The majority of the B1G, including Michigan, is no better than 70th in the nation.  For all these teams, certainly for Ohio State and Minnesota, there is barely a leg to stand on when game situations call for critical pass completions to move the sticks and put points on the board.

Oops, I meant to cut that off at 25.  Just one of those mistakes.  The majority of these teams are ranked.  Doing an off-the-top-of-the-head count, there’s approximately 15 ranked teams.  Teams do lose and put up a ton of yards (see, or don’t, Michigan, Edition 2010).

Having little balance in offensive production – it’s no shocker to see only one B1G team in the top 25 of total offense or yards per game.  Michigan ranks 2nd in the conference while Minnesota and Ohio State are hangin’ with teams like Akron, Idaho, UNLV, and the Thundering Moss Herd at Marshall.

The top two passing offenses happen to also be the top two scoring offenses.  Wisconsin, save the MSU game, has been pummeling people on the scoreboard.

Not a whole lot to say here, but as B1G conference play continues you can expect these numbers to trickle down a bit.

Other Stats of Note

  • Michigan is 112th in Net Punting with an average of 33.14 yards per punt, which is also last in the conference.  That ain’t good.  Purdue is your conference leader at 41.68 yards per punt.
  • Michigan is 111th in Kickoff Return yards with an average of 18 yards per return.  This is good for 11th in the conference.   Nebraska is your conference leader at nearly 28 yards per return.
  • Michigan is 8th in Scoring Defense at 15.5 points per game, while Penn State is your conference leader at 13 points per game.

And where Michigan stands with the rest of the rest.
