What Baylor calls on every down, distance and part of the field, and how often each call works.
Every play is counted, so these tables line up with a box score. "Close-game plays only" leaves out snaps after a game is decided, when teams stop calling plays the way they normally do.
Baylor's plays work 42% of the time (138 of 330). All teams: 44%. That is worse than most. A play "works" when it stays on schedule: half the distance on first down, 70% on second, all of it on third or fourth.
On 2nd & 4-6 they throw 56% of the time, but passes work 36% (5 of 14) and runs work 82% (9 of 11).
Runs by D. Pendergrass work 51% of the time (33 of 65, 3.9 yards a carry). Every other back combined: 37% (29 of 78).

From 5 games through week 5, garbage time left out. Every line compares this team with all FBS teams in the same spot and shows the count behind it. "Small sample" means fewer than 15 plays, so treat it as a lead, not a fact. Copy puts the line on your clipboard, ready to paste.
The rank is among FBS teams, with 1st the best for an offense, and the bar fills toward the best. Garbage time is left out. These are plain rates, not adjusted for opponent. A drive's points count the touchdown with its extra point or a field goal.
398 plays across 5 games. Run rate 48%. The quarterback has 7 of 190 runs, and the feed cannot tell a designed keeper from a scramble.
