Opportunity Rate

Opportunity Rate: The percentage of carries (when five yards are available) that gain at least five yards, i.e. the percentage of carries in which the line does its job, so to speak.

The ‘Noles check in at No. 56 in the nation with the offensive line doing its job 40.4 percent of the time.

Again, how much of the production is due to the sheer greatness of Dalvin Cook? So over 60 percent of the time, the FSU offensive line is NOT doing its job when running the ball.

How is that acceptable?
