Was curious, so I tried to conduct a "drive analysis" on 2024 UK drives. Here is what i found, let me know if you agree/disagree.
First, UK had 127 drives. First, break it down into good, bad, punts and other.
Good 31%: 40 scores (25 TD and 15 FG)
Bad 27%: 20 Turnovers (15 INT - 2 for TD and 5 Fumbles - 1 for TD) + 13 TO on Downs + 1 Missed FG.
Punts 35%: 44 Punts
Other 7%: 4 End of Half, and 5 End of Game.
What was interesting was likelihood of good, bad, punts, and other depending upon where the drive started.
36 drives inside the UK 20: 25%, 28%, 39%, and 8% (Bad included one pick-6, one FUM return for TD, and 2 TO on Downs)
85 drives between 20 and the 50: 33%, 25%, 35%, and 7% (Bad included 1 pick-6 and NINE TO on Downs!!)
6 drives past mid-field: 50% (1 TD + 2 FG), 50% (2 TO on Downs + 1 missed FG); 0 punts; 0 other.
Observations:
1. 6 drives past mid-field all season seems pathetic. 50% TOs on those drives seem even worse.
2. 13 TO on Downs seems high, like CMS tried to gamble too much this season.
3. While scoring likelihood increased as field position improved, it wasn't the WOW I was expecting.
4. 35% of drives ending in with a punt. That was ONLY 6 "3 and outs".
