It’s a little crazy how much the 7 OT game impacted the scoring O/D ranking.

I saw some on their UNC game but it's kind of hard to judge a them based on that one considering it was a rivalry game.

Here are all of their games on YouTube. All games are in condensed form unless noted

James Madison
Georgia State
@ Marshall (full)
Virginia
Boston College (full) / Boston College (condensed)
@ Clemson (full) / @ Clemson (condensed)
@ Syracuse
Florida State (full) / Florida State (condensed)

@ Louisville
@ UNC

Until you look at SOS, #2 vs #55.

Is there an opening line? Any guesses?

The stats make it look like were almost playing against ourselves

There are a ton of stats that are very similiar. We ran 77 plays per game, 6.1 ypp. They ran 76 plays per game, averaged 6.2 ypp. Both offensives are really good 15 yards and in, but neither is good at generating explosive plays.

Both team generated 35 sacks (#15 nationally), but huge difference in sacks allowed. They allowed only 10 (#5), we gave up 35 (#112). They also forced twice the number of turnovers.

Man. Not liking those sack and turnover numbers. We need to bring our A game, they sound really salty.

---

They have a really good front 7, good enough to shut down Clemson's run game. But they can be had through the air, so basically our defense.

But they haven't beaten a team of our caliber this year, and we've beaten probably beat 3 teams as good or better than them. Their schedule has been really weak though, Clemson is the only top 30 team they played. And BC is their best win, #40 according to Sagarin.

This will be one of those games we can't afford to play down to our competition and/or shoot ourselves in the foot with mistakes.

Something tells me that Jimbo is not that type of coach
