  • Defensive scoring

    (no, I'm not talking about how much tail the linebackers get.... )

    According to the UNI press release for the Richmond game:
    The UNI defense has scored four touchdowns and recorded three safeties this season. UNI has returned two interceptions for touchdowns and two fumbles for touchdowns.
    I'm wondering how that compares to the defensive scores of past seasons. But I can't find that stat in the Team Records in the media guide.

    In particular, I'm wondering if the 3 safeties sets a record. Probably not, but we haven't had that many safeties in any season since 2003 (that's the farthest back that the website has season stats)

    Also, the Panthers have intercepted 24 passes thus far this season. Only 3 away from the team record of 27 that was set in 1975. Though I'm not sure that we're likely to get 3 more picks. Richmond has only thrown 7 INTs all year (Montana has thrown 9, and James Madison only 4. And for comparison, UNI has only thrown 8)
