This is the best indicator of your team. For 2 straight years, the national champ has been top 3 in either offensive or defensive scoring efficiency (points per play, either scored or given up).
Through 7 weeks, Ark is:
#23 in offensive SE.
#132 in defsneive SE. (there are 136 D1 teams).
That's incredible.
Others of note, Memphis is top 15 in both (hello Ryan Silverfield)
Texas Tech and Indiana are top 10 in both.
Ohio State is the #1 Defense.
Vandy is the #1 offense.
Tennessee is #5 in offense and #73 in defense.

Now give us a reliable kicker and 3 less fumbles. Whoever is coaching the offense knows WTF they are doing. Our red zone offense is very efficient as well.

Didn’t they say during the game that we had the best red zone offense in the country this year?

I didn't want to bring that up and jinx us. At the time we were 17 for 17 and punched that one in for a TD to go 18 for 18.

The damn announcers were trying the ol' announcer jinx. Didn't work. Hopefully against A&M all they'll talk about is how much we turn the ball over and how we're not as explosive as past Petrino teams.

Now I don't know what the hell they were talking about. AI says we're 71st in red zone scoring.

Petrino is on record as saying with a playmaker like TG you just can't coach away the fumbles. So.
Ryan Silverfield, the Memphis coach, is 20 years younger and if someone doesn't snap him up in the coaching search would be available.

He is, but the next Memphis coach to find success at the P5 level would be the first Memphis coach.
As of now the ACC has proven to be too large of a jump for them while the next guy at Memphis continues on at the same level of success.

I do not understand the fascination with him at all. Memphis looked terrible to me. As awful as we played we still had a chance to beat them (and SHOULD have beat them). They got lucky. I just don’t see a solid team when I watch them

This is what scare me about Silverfield. Is Memphis just one of the best set up G5/6 jobs and anyone wins there?
Kind of like Cincinnati. Lots of coaches are great there, the flame out at bigger jobs.

Silverfield's record at Memphis got a lot better after Cincinnati, UCF, Houston, and SMU left the AAC.

Take what AI says with a hefty helping of salt…
