One. Turnover Margin.

However, good news is they're not 11th in any of the categories.

 

[DDThompson]

There's a missing stat but the most important category.

Winning Percentage.

Who really cares about stats? It's all about one thing: Scoreboard!

 

[oregonhawkeye]

Sure, stats lie. It's all about the scoreboard, 8-0 baby, yada yada.

This team is underachieving on offense and winning with D/ST.

Throw the dang ball....

Interesting. And out of the 6 computer polls we've got 5 that say we're #1!

 

[Rose86Bowl]

It's important to note we've only played top tier Big Ten teams too...let's see how we look at the end of the year

[rdrhwke]

A win is a win.

 

[vaHawkeye]

Heart and resilience aren't major statistical categories, but if they were we would be leading by a mile.

 

[VanMan1]

Interesting. And out of the 6 computer polls we've got 5 that say we're #1!

Actually, four have us No. 1, one has us No. 2, and one has us No. 4. They threw out one of the No. 1s and the No. 4, and we have an average place of 1.25 and 99 points.
