How B1G+A counts it. A red zone trip is a possession with at least one offensive snap starting at the opponent's 20 or closer. Scoring % = trips ending in a touchdown or field goal; empty trips = everything else (missed FG, turnover, downs, end of half). Rank in parentheses is among Big Ten teams with a published value.

Every game is checked against the ESPN box score in the same feed: punts 156/156; punt yds 154/156; punt in20 153/156; punt tb 156/156; net n 156/156; punt vs drives 156/156; punt result drives have punt 156/156; rec yds 154/156; rush yds 144/156; off td 156/156; fg made vs drives 156/156; turnovers 156/156; ints thrown 156/156; fumbles lost 156/156; ret td vs scoring 156/156; score recon 156/156; scoring plays in pbp 156/156 team-games agree (yardage totals within 10 yards). A team's figure is shown only if all of its games pass the checks that stat depends on; otherwise it shows — (hover for the reason).
