We are 3 – 3 in our last six games.

It would be interesting to see the stats broken down in our first four games vs. the last six.

You can get game by game stats here.

I suspect that a difference in stats over the first four games would have more to do with the level of competition than anything else.

This site let’s you break down the stats in many different ways:

http://www.cfbstats.com/

I especially like the ability to look at stats only versus conference opponents. I quickly ran through the key offensive and defensive categories and State’s rank within the ACC changes very little when you ignore everyone’s OOC opponents. This means that State’s ACC ranking reported above isn’t inflated by playing super-weak OOC opponents.

When you look within the conference games, you can see that State edges Clemson for the toughest schedule in the Atlantic. (State played VT, Clemson played UM…all other opponents are identical.) Thus you can argue (if you want to) that State’s defensive improvement has alot to do with the overal state of ACC FB….but you can not say that it is a mirage caused by playing a UMD-like schedule.

I haven’t looked closely at the Coastal schedules, but UNC has one of the toughest schedules in the Coastal…playing State, FSU, and Clemson.

With a little closer look at the Coastal schedules, UM is neck-and-neck with UNC for the toughest schedule in the Coastal.

UM played UMD, UNC plays NCSU….all other opponents identical.

I was reading today in the Technician that it has been confirmed that Nate Irving set the NCAA record with his 8 tackles for loss in the WF game last week. I find that a little hard to believe it is the record for all of college football but anyways way to go Nate!

NC State is the only contending team in the Atlantic that has to play Virginia Tech. We also missed out on playing Duke or Virginia – Maryland got to play both.

Did anyone read the Wimington-Star about Nate Irving…that the NCAA went back and realized Nate set a national record with 8 TFL. The previous record was 7. Way to go Nate…Bring your A game on Saturday!

In reference to the “season-ending numbers,” let’s hope the regular season doesn’t end for us after the Maryland game! Every game is a must-win at this point, though.
