Great post. You can see how the Cougars have developed as a team.

This is excellent to see, especially given the teams we have faced. It feels like MWC comparisons, which often show these nice stats, but we have faced a much tougher competition overall. This definitely points to a team on the rise. Rise and shout, baby!

Fixed it. Colors were right. More/less words were wrong. BYU was 8 for 8 in domination vs GT.

The last GT line - PER still seems red or reversed wording.

I looked at SpiffCoug's post on Nebraska game-by-game performance. Both teams' offenses are performing better than opponents average, and both defenses are limiting opposing offenses to fewer than they are averaging.



Close game, but I firmly believe we can win.

Of course we CAN win. We also COULD lose. We WILL, however, ...... IDK ......... but a loss is more likely than a win.



BTW - Why is Spiff posting a NEBRASKA game by game analysis? You would think he would post one for WISCONSIN.

Since you provide

Rushing vs what opponents usually allow And

Total YDs vs what opponents usually allow



I took the 13.5 yds more rushing and backed into passing of 112.3 more by subtracting 13.5 from 128.5 Total more.



The rushing and passing seem reversed.
