Message: [QUOTE="sufandu, post: 1098919, member: 874"] I was referring to the sack and int numbers. But even then, do the corrected stats take into account numbers that they gave up after the game was decided and they cleared their bench? All but four of their wins were blowouts, whereas most of ours were dogfights. I'm not arguing against your prediction. I think there's very little chance of an upset. I just don't think we can say our defenses were close based on stats. Their games and our games unfolded very differently and that can have an impact on numbers. Is there a way to look at their defensive stats by quarter or half to see if there is a significant difference that may reflect when their good players were in the game versus when the game was no longer in doubt and the scrubs were in?
