re: Random statistics through Week 4

I remember the LSU/OU national champ. game, and heading into halftime they interviewed Stoops and asked him about LSU's #1 defense. He said something about OU being the #1 defense, and that LSU was only #1 in scoring defense

Maybe the most douche moment I've ever seen in a halftime interview. What the heck did that matter at that point? OU couldn't move the ball at all on LSU that first half, and yet Stoops was whining about stats????

Passing Defense: #79 (235.75 yds/gm)
Passing Efficiency Defense: #19 (102.95 Opp Rating)

These two numbers are important because it shows that passing 63 times to rack up 450+ yards is not super impressive. It leads to this...

Turnover Margin: #4 (2 margin/gm)

And is a by product of teams being down by 20+ pts to LSU in the 2nd half of these games.


The following is a d*mn strong stat considering the high scoring offenses that LSU has played so far (as opposed to N. Texas, Kent State, and Penn State)

Scoring Defense: #4 (14.25 pts/gm)
