season, every situation

Indiana State

What Indiana State 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.

Keys for improvement: offense

21%

Indiana State's plays work 21% of the time (7 of 34). 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.

From 1 game through week 1, 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.

45 plays across 1 game. Run rate 44%. The quarterback has 9 of 20 runs, and the feed cannot tell a designed keeper from a scramble.
