As has been discussed many times this season this version of the Silver Bullets is not giving up the long play, but how do they rank nationally in this statistic?
We'll start short and move down the field.
10+ yard plays - 5th with 72 allowed
20+ yard plays - 5th with 19 allowed
30+ yard plays - 2nd with 5 allowed
40+ yard plays - 1st with 0 allowed
For all of last season, just as a point of reference, they allowed 18 plays over 40 yards ranking 115th nationally.
