Welcome to the Sickos Stats Summary for Week 4!!

Welcome back to the Sickos Stats Summary for Week 3! If you missed the previous weeks 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.

SAFETY ALERTS FOR WEEK 4

You know we love our safeties here. It’s a scoring play that's rare, and it leads to weird scores that you don’t see too often. So we want to shout out these teams that scored a safety. We were able to gather data from the FBS, FCS and DII. If we miss one in our data search, we’re sorry. It is not intentional, and sometimes the data is faulty.

After only having three safeties in Week 3, we bounced back with nine safeties this week! Our most since Week 1! Sure, Texas got a safety against ULM, and that bummed me out, but Western Kentucky got one immediately, and that made me feel better. A special shout out to Northwestern for getting a safety against Washington and finishing the week with a final score of 5. Teams scoring a safety were 6-3 this week. Northwestern, Georgia Tech and Merrimack were the lucky ones to get a safety but still managed to lose.

• Week 1 - 8-3 Record

• Week 2 - 7-1 Record

• Week 3 - 3-0 Record

• Week 4 - 6-3 Record

• 24-7 Record on the Year if you score a safety

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

The Sharks of Long Island University were down 7-0 to Rhode Island and went on this odyssey of a drive in the 1st quarter, the second time they had possession of the ball. They went 17 plays and 73 yards, all the way down to the Rams 2-yard line. Instead of trying a 19-yard field goal, the Sharks went for it, and the pass fell incomplete. LIU could have used this touchdown, as they fell 28-21 to Rhode Island.

LONGEST PUNT OF THE WEEK - FBS, FCS and DII

Shout out to Kai Kroger of South Carolina on his 75 yard punt downed at the 1-yard line. The Gamecocks were leading Akron 22-7 when he uncorked this boot to zip up the Zips up against their own goal line!

LONGEST SCORING DRIVE OF THE WEEK - TIME OF POSSESSION

When I started tracking this stat, I expected Army to be in the running every week. Well it took them to Week 4 to win this one but they earned it. Army took this drive 17 plays, 90 yards, in 10 minutes and 52 seconds for a touchdown against Rice. Honestly, since there was a false start to open the drive, it should count for a 95 yard drive.

Thank you for reading! We are working on more data sorting to come up with more ridiculous stats to celebrate, so stay tuned. Also, feel free to suggest more ideas in the comments!
