Let\'s play "guess the stats"

Looking at the box score, it's very difficult to figure out which team was which. Below is the box score. (minus the "fumble" line and the "kickoffs" lines which are dead giveaways) Try and guess (without looking at ramblinwreck.com!) which team is which based on last night's stats:

TOTAL FIRST DOWNS 26 21
Passing 16 10
Rushing 7 11
Penalty 3 0
3rd-Down Efficiency 8-18 7-14
4th-Down Efficiency 1-3 0-0

TOTAL NET YARDS 485 432
Total plays 84 67
Average gain 5.8 6.4

NET YARDS RUSHING 180 222
Rushes 31 43
Average per rush 5.8 5.2

NET YARDS PASSING 305 210
Completion-attempted 30-53 12-21
Yards per pass 5.8 8.8
Sacked-yards lost 0-0 3-24
Had intercepted 0 0

PUNTS-AVERAGE 4-39.0 4-49.5

RETURN YARDAGE 25 15
Punts-yards 2-25 2-3
Interceptions-yards 0-0 0-0

PENALTIES-YARDS 7-64 4-46
TIME OF POSSESSION 30:28 29:32

Looks like a pretty tight game, huh? You'd think something was wrong with the scoreboard or something...

No offense, but Stats are for Losers

Well sure, but have you ever seen a game go so far *one* way on the stat sheet (Tech was on the left in the box score - beat Maryland on almost every stat) and so far the other way on the scoreboard?

They almost shut us out, did blows us out, and we had them beat in almost every category on the stat sheet. What exactly does that mean, from an analysis standpoint?

Are we just really unlucky? We seemed to choke at very innoportune times, but by the same token we really stepped up at times as well (e.g. fake punt, clinkscale's 50 yard run out of the EZ, etc).

I'm still trying to figure out what went wrong..

So is Chan Company! They have been trying to figure out what is wrong all year, well if they would look in the mirror when they walk by it they might catch a glimpse of the problem. Heck I know that we have been crushed with injuries, but so has other teams. Chan himself said that he has been teaching them how to overcome adversity all year. Looks like he needs someone to teach him first.
