UK Year-End Statistics / Team Leaders (Surprises, anyone?)

I find that the statistcs often tell stories that are at odds with what many fans think they have seen throughout the course of the year, so it is always fun to compare our memories with the harsh cold statistical realities.  For reasons of economy of space I have included the two best (or worst) in each category.

My take?  Our freshmen do not dominate as some may have assumed (especially if Darnell is considered among the vets).  Don't dismiss the contributions of the veterans Patrick Paterson and Darius Miller quite so readily, and Perry Stevenson shows up here and there (with respect to turnovers he wishes he didn't).

Daniel Orton has a statistical profile that sucks in just about everything except shot blocking.  I hope he fares well in the tryout camps.  

Enjoy.
