Expected points

YardLine's expected-points model values every snap by what a drive from that spot is worth on average, so a drive can be judged against where it started. How it works →

Drives vs. expectation, 2025
Per drive

Points over expected per drive, from where each drive started.

Offense−0.97
Defense+1.17allowed
Adjusted for opponents

Per drive against an average FBS opponent, neutral field.

Offense−1.09

Finishing

Points over expected per trip inside the opponent's 40.

Offense−0.693.1 pts/trip
Defense+1.595.9 pts/trip allowed
Field position

Average expected points where drives started.

Offense0.72
Defense1.32opponents

Every snap has an expected-points value: what a drive from that spot, down and distance is worth on average. A drive over expected beat its starting spot; defense counts what UT Martin allowed, so lower is better. The adjusted number fits every team against the opponents it actually played, so it leans toward average early in a season.

Game by game
Offense: points over expected per drive
Defense: points kept off the board per drive

Bars above the line: better than expected for UT Martin.

Fourth downs

YardLine's fourth-down model values going for it, kicking and punting on every real fourth down, so each call can be checked against the numbers. How it works →

When going was clearly right

Went for it when going beat every other option by a point or more.

-

Each real fourth down is valued three ways (go for it, kick, punt) from the score, clock and field position before the snap, using league-wide odds rather than UT Martin's own. A call that differs gives up the gap to the best option; gaps under one point are close calls, and the 0 clear-cut ones account for 0.00 of the 0.02 expected wins. The model sees the situation, not the injury report, so a call it disagrees with can still be right.
