All non-garbage, regulation offensive drives in FBS vs FBS college football games since 2007 are included in the data set summarized in the table below, including the total number of drives by starting field position (SFP), the average points scored per drive (PPD), the frequency rate of each drive start event, and the frequency rate of each drive end event. Safeties are recorded as a drive result of negative two points scored. Touchdowns followed by a conversion attempt returned for a defensive score are recorded as a drive result of four points scored. Total points at the conclusion of all other drives are recorded as scored, including field goals, extra points, and two-point conversions.
