College Football Week 2 Misleading Final Scores

1031
  • Coastal Carolina only outgained Kansas 460 to 412 yet won 49-22.   They actually were the ones with the garbage yards in the 4th.
  • Western Kentucky out-gained Army 477 to 416 yet lost 38-35.   Equal turnovers and this game got close.
  • Tulsa out-gained Oklahoma State 347 t0 313 yet lost 28-23.  They also won the turnover battle 2-0 so explain that!   Bad efficiency.
  • Miami Ohio Out-gained Minnesota 341 to 287 yet lost 31-26.  A 2-0 turnover ratio hurt.
  • Ohio State out-gained Oregon 612 to 505 yet lost 35-28.   A 1-0 turnover ratio and bad efficiency hurt them.  6/15 on 3rd downs was a big stat and they also had twice as many penalties as the Ducks.
  • Northern Illinois out-gained Wyoming 477 to 395 yet lost 50-43.  A 3-1 turnover ratio at home hurt.
  • Syracuse out-gained Rutgers 258 – 195 yet lost 17-7.  A 3-0 turnover ratio did them in.
  • Iowa State out-gained Iowa 339 to 173, a 4-0 turnover ratio killed them but that Iowa D is what really stood out to me.   If this was played again I make Iowa a 3 point favorite on a neutral.
  • Memphis and Arkansas State had equal yards at 680 yet Memphis had 2 turnovers and still won the game on the road 55-50.
  • NC State out-gained Mississippi State 335 to 316 yet lost 24-10.  3-0 turnover ratios will do that.
  • FIU out-gained Texas State 400 to 336 yet lost 23-17.  A nasty 3-0 turnover ratio smoked em.
  • Bad news Notre Dame, Florida State just lost and was out-gained by Jacksonville State.  Can’t wait to hear the aftermath on that one.
  • I think that there will be value on Washington going forward.   Just wanted to say that.
  • Colorado State out-gained Vanderbilt 445 to 342 yet lost 24-21.   Even turnovers and bad defense in the 3rd quarter.
  • USC out-gained Stanford 408 to 375 but lots of that was garbage comeback yards so this score was right.
