Season lines from CollegeFootballData, regular season and bowls. * That team-season’s player lines are missing part of the team’s yards in our source, so these numbers may be short. Before 2016 our source records only interceptions for most defenders (no tackles, tackles for loss or sacks), so these lines count interceptions only. His tackles, tackles for loss and sacks from other sources are under “Defense before 2016” below.
