ISU was uniquely injured, but nobody cares about injuries unless you’re without your QB, and even then they don’t really care.

You’re all making valid points and the computers agree with you, because they can take in all the information. But what’s fresh in people’s minds is Cincy has momentum. They’re on a 4 game winning streak. Just beat a top 15 team and their only loss was by 3 points to a good Nebraska team early...

The only two things I’ve heard anyone talk about re: Minnesota is the game being on Friday and our history against them. Haven’t heard anything about a good player that’s scary, a unit that’s good, or anything they do particularly well. I haven’t followed them close enough, but what about the...

34-10 good guys They can’t run the ball and we’ll shut down the pass. Holgo gets it going and we put up 400+ yards.

What's funny is we still had 13 drives on Saturday (including the kneel down drive). We didn't have 13 drives in one game last year. we've done it twice this year already.

It was great to finally win that way, and maybe this game ends up being a watershed moment of embracing how to win in the B10? I'm hoping that's the case. My only trepidation is if we don't improve on 322ypg and 4.7ypp (I think we all agree this offense has more potential than those numbers)...

Yes, because non group of 5 teams play power 4 teams. But the other ranking I put to the right of the parenthesis only factors in p4 teams. That’s why it says “30th of 68 p4 teams” For instance, how Akron did against Nebraska factors into those stats, but how Nebraska did against Akron does not.

That’s what that is… https://cfbstats.com/2025/leader/national/team/offense/split24/category10/sort01.html

Those rankings only include games against P4 competition.

I’ve seen heavy criticism for Donny and the OL, but but before this post hardly any criticism of the offense or Holgo despite what the stats show are pretty bad numbers relative to like competition. It’s early, we’re only 30% of the way through our P4 games, but Holgo needs to prove something in...

cfbstats.com had this. Again, good idea. Here’s our average and the national rank only factoring in P4 competition in parenthesis. PPG: 28.3 (34th) 29th among 68 P4 teams YPG: 322 (75th) 51st among 68 P4 teams YPPoint: 11.35 (N/A) YPPlay: 4.71 (87th) 61st among 68 P4 teams Although national...

28 PPG is all that really matters, and that’s plenty good to win 9 games. 322 YPG and 4.71YPP is not.

The point is to see how our stats look against like competition. The national average is just a reference. We had the wind in the 1st quarter and 4th quarter and had 141 yards of offense combined. That’s not carving it up. Offense did score 24 points, but they’re skewed. we started the 4th...

Are the national averages what’s making you guys mad? I get that. Focus on the average, not the ranking.

It’s a good idea. Why don’t you take a crack at that?
