Driving For Distance
November 22nd, 2010Stanford had three straight touchdown drives of 85 or more yards in the first half of its 48-14 win over California. That gives Stanford nine touchdown drives this season of 85 or more yards, which is tied for second in the FBS. Here are the FBS leaders this season in touchdown drives of 85 or more yards.
TD Drives Team 85+ Yards +------------------+-----------+ Michigan 10 Nevada 9 Stanford 9 TCU 8 Boise St. 7 Michigan St. 6 Mississippi St. 6 Ohio St. 6 Penn St. 6 San Diego St. 6 Utah 6
This weekend’s games include three games between teams on this list: Boise St. vs. Nevada, Michigan vs. Ohio St., and Michigan St. vs. Penn St. The Big 10 is obviously well-represented on the list. Also notice that TCU and Boise State are right there next to each other like they’ve been in the BCS standings much of the season.
