The defensive variables are more significant
But that's about it. None really explain a whole lot; while the DYPG variable has the highest correlation value, its actual r2 value is about 12.5%. Even combining OYPG and DYPG doesn't really explain much.
I'd wager if you look at turnovers and third down percentages, you'd get a much better read on TOP.
