Another issue is that in close games the difference can simply be who made two or three critical plays that never show up in the average stats.

Like JC Copeland's fumble in 13 and our failure to convert on the goal line against OM last year.

I know we lost those games by a combined 6 touchdowns but I can't help but feel like we kind of quit after those two respective plays. I think if we take the momentum on those two plays the games play out much differently. No way to know if we'd have won but we certainly wouldn't have been blown out like we were.
