Pretty good stuff but you left out the most important stat:
2017 - 1-5
2018 - 3-3
Not happy or content but we're 2 games better.

Thanks for the data deep dive. As fans we should also take in account the better competition through 6 games as well.
Here is to improvement and a strong finish.

The line play on both sides of the ball is right were I thought it would be entering the season.
Once the rushing play book was opened up, they have been pushing teams off the ball. I think Memphis is in for a very long day next week, especially since it was announced that Emmanuel Hall will be out again following the death of his father.
The pass rush is less than what I expected but the guys do a solid job setting the edge and no one is running up the middle with much success.
Allowing 15 yds per completion is terrible and teams are melting the secondary on 1st down. MU's 3rd down pass rating and completion% allowed is comparable to the 2014 and 2013 teams production. All of the passing damage is happening on early downs.

Last year’s first six games were probably tougher than our first six games this year.
The bad news is that our last six games are going to be tougher than our last six games last year.

Lock is going to have to get his head on straight if they want to win out. The line play on both sides of the ball favors Missouri vs every team the rest of the way but FGs aren't going to cut it. He is going to have to make quality decisions.

Except for rushing, pretty much a statistical push. 2nd half will tell all.

With Lock struggling why do you think they're not emphasizing the run in the red zone?

45 Rushing attempts and 31 passing attempts in the RZ seems pretty balanced to me.

Scoring defense in 2017 was 42 PPG
Through 6 games this year it is 30 PPG.
Being able to stop the run has been the difference maker in that.

The question offensively is who steps up like Hall did last year and starts making plays on the ball.
Albert and Johnson have been disappointing so far. Albert is struggling to make contested receptions and Johnson can't catch anything running parallel to the line of scrimmage. Ofodile got several reps rotating with Knox last weekend and never got targeted. He got blanketed by every CB put across from him.
Knox, Scott, Brown, and Floyd are all that is left.

Just curious where the better competition is?
UT Martin vs Mo State
Wyoming vs Kentucky
Bama vs Auburn (I'll concede this one though both are way out of our league)
SC vs SC
UGA vs UGA
Purdue vs Purdue

Probably a lot more than just Lock, though he is included. And I'm just hoping we can get to 6 wins, much less win out.

Rush defense improvement at almost no cost to pass defense.
Moved Passing production to rushing production.
Against nearly equal competition.

DE's really, really need to step up. Along with the secondary.
You cant have no pass rush, and a bad secondary. That just cant happen.
Ive been very please with the RB's group, LB's and DT's.

I am actually thinking about how to follow up to your question and I honestly dont have an answer.

Acy and Holmes need to be the starters at CB. Had Holmes not gotten injured he would have had more snaps that Sparks against Alabama.
Gillespie and Bledsoe make more errors than Hilton and Oliver, but their potential is a lot higher. That’s 1 of the changes from Pinkel to BO. Pinkel played the safe player, BO is more willing to let players play through mistakes.

Passing defense has been hot garbage since Odom took over. If he wants to keep his job he's going to have to figure that nonsense out
