This Week in the NDL...By the Numbers


Vol. 5




515...Number of yards Air Force QB Tim Jefferson has rushed for so far this season. Jefferson, who only has 573 yards passing, leads the league among QBs in rushing this season and is actually only 1 of just 2 QBs to rank among the top 100 rushers in the country. The other is Mississippi State QB Chris Relf, with 349 yards.



61...Number of pass yards the Navy Midshipmen average per game so far this season, worst in the league. However, what the Midshipmen lack in the passing department, they make up on the ground; they rank #2 in the league in rush yards per game, with 187.



31...Number of teams that are already bowl eligible. There are 11 teams that have already been eliminated from becoming bowl eligible. Of the remaining teams, 14 just need one more win to become bowl eligible, 14 just need one more loss to become ineligible, 19 teams have winning records, and 47 teams have losing records.



27...Number of interceptions Utah QB Jordan Wynn has thrown so far this season, leading the league. With just 145 passing attempts, nearly 1 in every 5 of Wynn's passes are picked off.



8...Number of ranked teams this week that are not in a BCS conference. There are 4 Mountain West teams, 2 Conference USA teams, 1 Mid-American team, and 1 Independent. 6 of those teams only have 1 loss on the season, but 5 of those 6 still play each other later this season.



2...Number of players in this block (Weeks 11-12) that recorded a kick return touchdown AND punt return touchdown in the same game. Ole Miss RB Jeff Scott did it in Week 11 in a 33-21 win at Kentucky and Western Kentucky RB Bobby Rainey did it in Week 12 in a 28-17 win at North Texas. They are 2 of just 4 people to record both a punt return and kick return TD this season, the other two being Alabama RB Trent Richardson and South Carolina WR Ace Sanders.



0.311...The combined winning percentage of #1 Alabama's opponents so far this season. With a combined opponent record of just 23-51, the Crimson Tide's strength of schedule is the worst among all ranked teams. With a combined opponent record of 30-50, #2 Virginia Tech is the second worst. Who has the best strength of schedule among ranked teams? That honor goes to #9 Mississippi State, with a combined opponent record of 44-28.



0.021...Number of points that separates #1 Alabama from #2 Stanford in the current BCS Poll. #3 South Carolina trails Stanford by just 0.279 points before the gap starts to widen after that.
