This is why I hate Paper stats…. it looks like too many pushes to me but I am sure it will all go OSU’s way come gameday.

Sure, right now these stats aren’t totally indicative of the teams overall abilities. As we go through the season, these numbers become more meaningful.
That being said, OSU will most likely dominate every statistical category against the Illini.
