Illinois in Numbers

Submitted by The Mathlete on

Nothing too earth shattering about the numbers from the Illinois game, most of the results would be right in line with expectations after watching the game.

Overall, Illinois had a game score of +21.  The breakdown was: +22 offense, -5 defense, 0 field position, +2 kicking game, +2 penalties.

Michigan had a game score of-22. -2 offense, -16 defense, 0 field position, -1 kicking, -2 penalties. Odoms did produce one of the top 10 receiving performances for the week with a +10 adjusted game score.

The offense/defense numbers vary slightly between the two teams because they are normalized based on the expected performance of the opposing unit.

Michigan was the 9th worst performance of the week while Illinois was the 15th best.

The projected score based on field position was Michigan's closest of the season: Illinois 30, Michigan 29
