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 10 games in 2007 (Aug 30 vs. Drake; Sep 8 vs. Murray State; Sep 15 at Eastern Illinois; Sep 29 vs. Northern Iowa; Oct 6 at Missouri State; Oct 13 vs. Indiana State; Oct 20 at Youngstown State; Oct 27 vs. Western Illinois; Nov 3 at North Dakota State; Nov 10 at Southern Illinois) and 10 games in 2008 (Sep 13 at Murray State; Sep 20 vs. Eastern Illinois; Oct 4 at Indiana State; Oct 11 at Northern Iowa; Oct 18 vs. Missouri State; Oct 25 vs. North Dakota State; Nov 1 vs. Youngstown State; Nov 8 at South Dakota State; Nov 15 at Western Illinois; Nov 22 vs. Southern Illinois): the source has no box score for them. 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.

Our box scores carry tackles, tackles for loss and sacks from 2016 only, so these come from other sources: NCAA statistics, via octonion/football, the season’s official lines (G: games played). A dash: the source has no number for it.
