Welcome back to the Sickos Stats Summary!

If you missed this last year and the explainer, this year at the Sickos Sentinel, we’re going to bring you something called the Sickos Stats Summary. It’s basically going to be weird stats on different things we found that we don’t think get a lot of attention. We will make some graphics every week and try to give you a few amounts of stats that are unconventionally appealing or things that don’t get highlighted much.

Do I know how many stats will be in each weekly post? Nope.

Also, if I miss something on these, feel free to yell at me to correct. I am nowhere near perfect and data pulls miss things sometimes 🙂

In 2024, we started tracking records of people who scored a safety on their opponent. Last year teams who scored a safety were 58-29 on the year. A winning percentage of .666%. So, we wanted to track them again. Teams scoring a safety are 51-24 for the 2025 season overall.

The safeties this week were a little odd, which is like all safeties really. Some teams that were getting crushed somehow managed a safety.

• UCF got an intentional grounding safety on Texas Tech.

• Northern Iowa got a safety in North Dakota State.

• San Diego got a safety on a bad snap for a 8-7 lead but the broadcast was broken. So this is the safety that got away.

• SEMO got a safety on our Leathernecks.

• East Texas A&M got one on Houston Christian

• Tarleton State got one on North Alabama.

This week teams were 4-2 scoring a safety. This increases the overall record to 55-26 when scoring a safety this season.

LONGEST SCORING DRIVE OF THE WEEK - TIME OF POSSESSION - TOUCHDOWN

We go back to MACTION for this one. The Ohio Bobcats used this drive to take the lead over Western Michigan. A beautifully crafted 17 play, 83 yard drive taking 10 Minutes and 8 Seconds. But Alas, the Bobcats were not able to hold onto the lead and the Broncos came back to win late. Hope this award is some sort of consolation for you Ohio.

LONGEST NON-SCORING DRIVE OF THE WEEK - TIME OF POSSESSION

Air Force attempted to walk into THE RENT and defeat UConn. Well, they took this drive on an epic journey all the way to UConn’s three-yard line, and it was 4th and goal with the Falcons holding a 7-6 lead. Air Force was stuffed for no gain on 3rd down but decided to go for it on 4th and Goal from the three instead of kicking the short field goal to go up 10-6. They only gained a yard on 4th down and turned the ball over after nearly taking an entire quarter. Maybe, Air Force knew you can’t beat UConn with just field goals.

LONGEST PUNT OF THE WEEK FOR DIVISION I -WEEK 12

For the first time ever, we have a repeat champion. Adam Watford of North Alabama is back. This time it wasn’t a touchback, this time it was a controversy. This time Adam won this for good and the haters have to remain silent. Also, we have no idea how this 72 yard punt stopped on the 1 yard line. But congrats Adam and thank you for allowing us to reuse graphics.
