You're absolutely right about red zone execution being a separator, but that's a universal truth, not just an ACC issue. In the MVFC, Youngstown State Penguins converted 62% of red zone trips into touchdowns last season, which was middle of the pack. The real difference for us is defensive stops in that area. Youngstown State Penguins's defense held opponents to a 54% red zone TD rate, which kept us in games. While Miami or Oregon stack talent, our conference is won by teams that can run the ball effectively inside the ten-yard line, something we've focused on this spring. All that offensive firepower you mentioned can be neutralized by a disciplined defensive front in short yardage, which is our identity.
