That's what I meant.

MSU only ranked in the top-3 in two defensive stats: fumble recoveries & first downs allowed. They were 4th. in all three aggregate yardage categories, but their per-play/per-carry metrics were noticeably worse (ranking about in the middle of the league). Gregorak is also known as a bend-but-don't-break guy, but MSU's redzone D this season was lousy—they allowed about 5.7 points-per-RZ-trip.
