Less correlation it seems on offense as the numbers are all over the place. This could due to the style of offense, and how often a team has to play from behind. Special teams are hard to calculate as the amount of kicks/punts was very different between the teams.

*The Citadel and Furman have one less game played than the rest of the schools at this point.
