No, but I think it will be more about how teams game plan against us

Why “No?” The available evidence suggests otherwise.

Well. They did for one season at least. Back in the MWC tho.

I think you are wrong.

I don't know but a defensive foundation is far more sustainable than offensive

How about this one - defense travels

The greatest show on turf is probably the team that comes to mind.

How’d that go against a very young Tom Brady

Exactly, solid offense extremely effective defense = elite team

Even if Washington played us and beat us, we were still a championship caliber

Theres going to be at least one game where the defense struggles

There already was one: Baylor.

"struggling" is forcing 2 turnovers, 2.3 yards per carry, and 56% pass comp?

If Oklahoma St installs new QB, it could get beautifully ugly for OSU on Friday.

Or, just a massive run fest and no turnovers to get—which means offense will

Oh? Fumbles aren’t a thing in your reality? Also, 1 dimensional offenses aren’t

Interestingly there were 3x as many fumbles than interceptions in NCAA last year

OSU is second to last in Run Offense in the Big-12. And Colorado doesn't try.

Blue Ghost

Oct 17, 2:31pm

That’s probably because OSU has been holding back their full run playbook

I'll take it. Ok St defense sucks.

You should start a new thread with this post. It's really interesting data - I think more would like to see it.

If there are more than 2 outcomes, most likely can be less than 50%.

This is a killer stat. Great job.
