NittanyNation will look back at the 2022 football season with the help of SportSource Analytics to give our subscribers the most in-depth analytics of the season.
The first thing we'll look at is Field Zone Offensive Drive Breakdown. We'll look at each area of the field and show you how many drives started in that area, average yards per drive that started in that area, the percentage of time they scored from a drive that started in that area, 3 and outs, punts, and turnovers. Let's take a look.
