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). ‡ Short by nine games in 2011 (Sep 3 vs. Wofford; Sep 10 vs. North Greenville; Sep 24 at Furman; Oct 8 at Stony Brook; Oct 22 at Georgia Southern; Oct 29 at Liberty; Nov 5 at Coastal Carolina; Nov 12 vs. VMI; Nov 19 vs. Charleston Southern): the source has no box score for them. 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.
