In football. As you say, there's usually much more to the story. AZ tends to be a bad defense overall and most teams do prefer to run against them. Teams also seem not to need lots of yards to beat them and they rarely lead in games, so I get your point, which is why I looked at the efficiency stat.

Another stat that should stand out when you look at AZ is how other teams do against the AZ defense. In our win we were 3 points better than NAU and Washington, which both scored 21 against them. 

The biggest worry I have going into this week's game is we don't score enough points to win a shootout or win from behind. Unless we can get up big on Virginia early and keep the ball away from their offense, Jaren will need to win with his arm. I am hopeful he is up to it.
