Take a look at where our opponents rank YTD in Total D and see what you think. Total D only covers total ypg so its not the end all be all stat but I think it shows someinteresting things none the less.
Opponent NCCAA rank in total D......OSU's offensive output in total yds.
#2 NCSU...137 yds
#3 Wisky...224 yds
#10 Iowa...177 yds
#12 PSU...202 yds
#15 MU...403 yds
#17scUM...tbd
#29 OSU...point of reference
#30 PU...tbd
#48 UC...462 yds
#61 MSU...307 yds
#70 NU...308 yds
#102 IU...443 yds
so against the good teams (1-15) we average 229 ypg.
against the bad teams (48-102) we average 380 ypg.
I was slightly more optimistic after the MSU game myself but seeing this kinda just dampened it. I didn't realize MSU's D was rated that low.
On the positive side neither of our remaing two opponents are as tough as half the teams we have played this year.
I'll probably regret saying it but running the table is not completely out of the question to me now. Purdue will tell a lot.
