FEI Defense Ratings (DFEI) are opponent-adjusted data representing the scoring advantage per opponent drive a defense would be expected to have on a neutral field against an average offense, calculated from the results of non-garbage, regulation drives in FBS vs. FBS games. Drive efficiency (DDE) is opponent offensive value generated per drive, points per drive (DPD) is opponent points scored per drive, available yards percentage (DAY) is opponent drive yards gained divided by drive yards available based on starting field position, yards per play (DPP) is opponent drive yards gained per play, touchdown rate (DTD) is the percentage of opponent drives that resulted in a touchdown, value drive rate (DVD) is the percentage of opponent drives that gained at least 30 yards or resulted in a touchdown, first down rate (DFD) is the percentage of opponent drives that gained at least 10 yards or resulted in a touchdown, busted drive rate (DBD) is the percentage of opponent drives that gained zero or negative yards, and turnover rate (DTO) is the percentage of opponent drives that ended with an interception or fumble.
