Minnesota, by the Numbers

October 22, 2009 by 2 Comments

This week in statistical match-ups. Maybe I should call this “On Paper.” As in, On Paper, there should be no way Ohio State loses.

Statistically Speaking
Ohio State

Value (Rank)

3rd Down Conv. Def (%) 36.4 (54) 37.5 (77) 3rd Down Conv. (%) Push
 Legend
  Difference <25 in National Rank = Push   Difference >25 in National Rank = Ohio State
  Difference >50 in National Rank = Ohio State+
  Difference >75 in National Rank = Ohio State++
  Differences >100 in National Rank = Ohio State+++

Again, I present this with minimal commentary. The only thing I will mention today is that 75% scoring in the Red Zone is borderline inexcusable.

    Great chart of the differences in ranking. If you could add the quality of past opponents into the mix then we have something really good.

    @Steve – We used to do charts showing stats against common opponents. We need to get back to those charts as well.
