HITTING THE HOLE BGs run defense has not been up to par this season, as the team has allowed 208.9 rushing yards per game, while only allowing 179.4 yards through the air each game. Opponents have also earned many of their biggest plays on the ground, including two runs of at least 80 yards and four of more than 65 yards. BGs first-year coach Dave Clawson said before the season that the run defense was more of a concern than the pass defense, and, as the stats below indicate, he was right.

HITTING THE HOLE BGs run defense has not been up to par this season, as the team has allowed 208.9 rushing yards per game, while only allowing 179.4 yards through the air each game. Opponents have also earned many of their biggest plays on the ground, including two runs of at least 80 yards and four of more than 65 yards. BGs first-year coach Dave Clawson said before the season that the run defense was more of a concern than the pass defense, and. as the stats below indicate, he was right.
