Iowa State @ Texas A&M: Statistical Comparison

[SpreadsheetAg]

That is a very interesting way to look at the game. Thanks for sharing.

I do wonder how you gave some advantages? For instance, you call some of ISU's offense a push against the Aggies' defense, when it would appear to me that we have an advantage, like the fact that we don't give up sacks?

I guess it doesn't matter much, we play the game for a reason.

Good luck to you guys also, but GO CYCLONES.

My general rule is I look at the national rankings and if one team is 25 or more spots ahead in the matchup that team usually gets the advantage in that category. The reason the ISU Sacks Allowed is a push, is because we get 3.0 per game ranking 11th nationally, so in my opinion that is a push.

BTW, who is your Left Tackle? What year, how big is he? How has he been playing this year so far, etc.? I am interested to see how Von Miller handles the #1 team in the country in not giving up sacks.

Using the 25 spots or more rule, wouldn't the breezes have the advantage in 1st Down Off?

Keleche Osemele (RSoph). He's very big (6'5, 349) and has been playing much better than anyone could have hoped. He'll have his hands full this weekend. The general consesus is that he'll be a pro at LT.

Osemele is way more agile that I would have thought for a guy that weighs 350.

Yes, I missed that one

Just wanted to say thanks Spreadsheet....for the stats and not being a sack of ****** Could use more opposing fans like you here!

 

[SpreadsheetAg]
