Defense
Returns
Season lines from CollegeFootballData, regular season and bowls. Every season here is summed from the game box scores (the source has no season lines for them; a game missing from the box scores is missing here). Kickoff returns are in our source’s box scores from 2009; before that most are missing, so return totals from those years may leave them out. A dash: the source has no number for that season (often an FCS season), and career totals count only the numbers on file. 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.
