I asked, so I looked it up:
UMASS = 12yd pass / 40yd FG / 49yd FG / 26yd pass / 48yd FG ||| 1 Red Zones with no score (downs)
KY = 3yd run / 78yd pass / 54yd FG / 5yd pass / 26yd pass / 4yd run / 28yd pass ||| 1 Red Zones with no score (end of game)
UNT = 22yd FG / 6yd run / 2yd run / 20yd run / 1 yd run ||| 2 Red Zones with no score (downs, downs)
TN = 3yd pass / 15yd pass / 1yd run / 10yd pass ||| 0 Red Zones with no score
VAN = 4yd run / 42yd FG / 26yd FG ||| 1 Red Zones with no score (end of game)
MIZZ = 53yd FG / 24yd FG / 39yd INT / 78yd INT / 20yd pass / 33yd run / 44yd KOReturn ||| 2 Red Zones with no score (missed FG, fumble)
Net of Red Zone performance:
Scoring in red zone opportunities = 14/21 = 67%
TDs in red zone opportunities = 14/21 = 67%
Plus 5 'explosive' TDs on offense of 26+yds
Here's a bonus takeaway from what I found. Of those missed 7 opportunities in the red zone:
2 were end of game running out the clock
3 were turnover on downs (Mac going for it) against Umass and UNT
1 missed FG (against MIZZ, only time Mac went for 3 in red zone)
1 fumble
I don't think that's too shabby.
Also, we have Eddie at 19/19 XP and 9/12 FG. How many years since we could say that?
It was clear to me before I finished reading the op that the author was literally only emphasizing the stats that supported the narrative he wanted to tell. There are plenty of stats there that don't support the same sky-is-falling story. ...but if we notice those, we can't
