Nice job. It all looks really close against, mostly, the same type and level of competition.

You might catch some flack from some douchebags on the board, but I appreciate a thread with relevant information that doesn't contain meaningless drivel and weak troll attempts.
Thanks for posting.

Something that's really surprised me is how similar many of the stats are.
Both teams have fumbled about the same. They both have about the same amount of INTs and forced fumbles. They both don't give up a lot of sacks, though Marshall doesn't sit in the pocket very much.
They both handle the kicking game rather well. They both have returners that can make things happen.
There's three key stats if you ask me:
- Alabama's only given up a handful of touchdowns
- Auburn has a huge advantage in pressuring the QB
- Auburn's total defense yardage vs. Alabama's total offense yardage

Well of course it's played on the field. And Auburn's a team of destiny, so there's really not a chance that Alabama wins.
But statistical analysis is always an interesting topic in the days leading up!
