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 55-26 when scoring a safety this season in 2025 for the DI Teams.

We only got THREE safeties this weekend but OH MY GOODNESS did they rule.

• Utah Tech had a safety I have never seen before. The QB had his pass deflected but then he decided to catch it and it was tackled immediately for a SAFETY by Eastern Kentucky.

• Southeastern opened the second half with a dribbler of a snap and were lucky to recover for just a safety instead of a scoop and score.

• Merrimack had a punt blocked by Fordham.

So the three safeties this weekend, teams finished 2-1. Overall 57-27 on the year. I did a Snyder Cut of all the safeties so basically each safety gets about a minute of run time.

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

BACK-TO-BACK MACTIONS for this award. Central Michigan took a drive of 18 plays, 75 yards in 10 minutes and 53 seconds against Kent State for the LONGEST DRIVE IN PROGRAM HISTORY!!! They even made a graphic for it, and they got bowl eligibility in the win. Funny things happen when you hire the Army offensive line coach as your head coach. Great job in Mount Pleasant by Coach Matt Drinkall overall and on this Touchdown drive.

Our graphic isn’t as nice as Central Michigan’s one but enjoy it anyway and Fire Up Chips!

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

James Madison is tring to make a case for the College Football Playoff G5 spot and they welcomed in Wazzu this past weekend. They took the opening drive of the second half all the way down to Wazzu’s 7-yard line. They went for it on 4th and 1 but were stuffed for no gain. JMU still won the game 24-20, but this could have helped the style points.

Nevertheless, here is your award James Madison.

LONGEST PUNT OF THE WEEK FOR DIVISION I -WEEK 13

Furman was playing a buy game to end their season against Clemson and was forced to punt. Their Kicker/Punter Ian Williams booted this 74 yard punt that perplexed the committee and apparently the returner, along with the punt coverage. I cannot tell if the Clemson returner purposely set up on the other side of the field to fool the entire punt coverage unit of Furman or just lost it in the lights.

Regardless, this is the longest punt of the week. Either Clemson’s returned was brilliant or this boot fooled the returner and went down for a touchback as longest punt of the week. So Congrats Ian!

You be the judge.

Next year we are invoking a non touchback rule. So it will be the longest punt of the week without a touchback.

HARDEST WORKING PUNTERS OF THE WEEK

One of our Committee members wanted to recognize the punter who had to punt the most over the weekend. So I made a search for the punter with the most punts in a single game and we had a tie between two punters. Here is the first ever Hardest Working Punters of the Week Award!
