I learned a new term from The Athletic: Stop Rate
This is a pay site.
theathletic.com
"What is stop rate? It’s a basic measurement of success: the percentage of a defense’s drives that end in punts, turnovers or a turnover on downs. This simple metric can offer a more accurate reflection of a defense’s effectiveness in today’s faster-tempo game than yards per game or points per game."
Every team's Stop Rate is provided. Here are the ACC Stop Rates as provided by The Athletic:
* The National Rank of Stop Rates is provided to the left of the Team name.
* The Athletic does not count games vs FCS teams.

Stop rate standings: Michigan surges to No. 1 at midseason
We have a new leader in our stop rate standings, which shouldn’t come as a surprise if you watched Michigan's performance last Saturday.
