QB Pressure Yards Through Week 11

We leap-frogged LSU after a strong showing by our defensive line against Arkansas.

It's interesting to note how little pressure Florida puts on the quarterback (Sure sounds like a Charlie Strong defense to me). Given our O-line deficiency, this might mean we match up somewhat favorably against Florida's scheme even if their talent is superior.

Also, their offense is among the best at preventing QB pressure, so it'll be interesting to see if our great defensive line is able to turn up the heat on Tebow.

Again, the way to think about these "yards" is in terms of "opposing offense yards prevented". If you're interested to see how I derived this, you can look at this spreadsheet. Suggestions are welcome.
