2 B1G programs having a lot of success scoring redzone TDs in 2022, among top 10 in country
A pair of B1G offenses are having a lot of success in the red zone this season. 247Sports’ Brian Christopherson revealed a stat about them.
Purdue is ranked fourth nationally in touchdown percentages in the red zone this season at 84% and Nebraska is right behind at fifth in the same stat at 83.3%.
Stat peeking while on the road to West Lafayette. One of them I was just looking at:
Purdue is fourth nationally in TD % in the red zone (84.0). Nebraska is right there fifth nationally in that stat (83.3). Nine teams in FBS above 80 percent. Forty-one teams above 70 percent.

Just nine teams in FBS are about 80% in red zone touchdown percentage and 41 teams are above 70%.
