Big 12 Football Offenses by the Numbers: Week 7
Week 7 has come and gone, and we’re getting a sense of how the teams stack up while some early season trends have been replaced by midseason trends.
Here are the all the numbers you need regarding Big 12 offenses after Week 7. As always, caveat lector: stats can be deceiving.
3-4-4-7. . .
3 Rushing touchdowns for Abram Smith (BU) vs BYU
4 Passing TDs each for Max Duggan (TCU) vs OU and Caleb Williams (OU) vs TCU
4 different rushers scored TDs for Texas Tech vs KU
7 Receptions for Quentin Johnson (TCU) for 185 yards and 3 TDs
TEAM SACKS ALLOWED (CHANGE FROM LAST WEEK)
T1. Baylor – 6 sacks allowed (+0); 0.86 per game
T2. Iowa State – 6 sacks allowed (+0); 1 per game
T2. TCU – 6 sacks allowed (+0); 1 per game
4. Oklahoma State – 7 sacks allowed (+1); 1.17 per game

10. West Virginia – 16 sacks allowed (DNP); 2.66 per game
Note: Baylor’s offensive line remains the pass protection class of the league. Bohanon’s mobility helps Baylor’s O-line overall, of course, just as Doege’s immobility hurts West Virginia’s.

10. Kansas – 119.95 – 156 attempts; 85 completions; 1,036 yards; 4 INTs; 7 TDs
Note: Max Duggan is doing everything he can to win games for TCU. As you’ll see in the individual numbers, K-State’s efficiency numbers are brought down by QB2 Will Howard.
RUSHING OFFENSE
1. Baylor – 1,668 yards; 238.3 per game; 20 TDs
2. Texas – 1,606 yards; 229.4 per game; 20 TDs

10. West Virginia – 650 yards; 108.3 per game; 11 TDs
Note: Baylor has leap-frogged Texas for the number one spot. This is impressive for Oklahoma’s State defense as it has already corraled the two most prolific rushing offenses in the league and played a role and in Baylor overtaking Texas in Week 7.
YARDS PER RUSH
1. Baylor – 6.09
2. TCU – 5.62
3. Texas – 5.54
4. Iowa State – 5.45

Note: As effective as Oklahoma State’s rushing game has been with Jaylen Warren, the team’s rush efficiency is still not very good.

10. Jordan Whittington (UT) – 359 yards; 3 TDs; 24 receptions

INDIVIDUAL PASS EFFICIENCY
The formula is for pass efficiency is: ( { (8.4 x yards) + (330 x TDs) – (200 x INTs) + (100 x completions) } / attempts
1. Caleb Williams (OU) – 188.06 – 59 attempts; 40 completions; 609 yards; 0 INTs; 6 TDs
2. Casey Thompson (UT) – 171.91 – 137 attempts; 89 completions; 1,274 yards; 5 INTs; 15 TDs

13. Will Howard (KSU) – 105.68 – 39 attempts; 19 completions; 249 yards; 1 INT; 1 TD
Note: The NCAA has a threshold for games played to be included in their rankings, so I had to manually calculate the pass efficiency for Colombi, Howard, Shough, S. Thompson, and Williams. For the sake of thoroughness, I included all 13 QBs who have started at least 6 quarters.
