What are the most relevant statistics for tracking offensive and defensive progress, iyo?

Other than record and score. Thinking about firing up a stats database after Buttgers and assembling something to weep over.

 

[That SOB Van Owen]

points per play
Yards per play
Third down efficiency

Lol those were the first 3 I thought of

 

[TrentMilfer]

wins

For me these are some of the most important when it comes to the difference between winning the close games and losing them:
-3rd Down efficiency (Offense and Defense)
-Turnovers
-Penalties
-Special Teams Stats

I used to have an overly intensive SQL Database that I would manage... basically scripted out a bunch of scrape jobs from a few sites that ran in SQL Server Agent Jobs...tons of Views and Stored Procs that would populate tons of different stats. Had basically everything...stats down to individual stats by quarter. I never backed up the database and then the hard drive pooped out. I still have all the python scripts but the thought of starting over makes me sad. Anywho, I did a bunch of stuff and concluded that Nebraska was a very bad team. I think it's safe to assume that is still true, but who knows...

Sql is on my list of shit to learn how to do. It seems straightforward.

I mostly just want to look for any possible nugget of progress, but from a cursory glance it looks pretty bleak

I would look at how many points were scored per bad snap as well.
