If team A has 500 yds of offense and holds the team B to less than a hundred in the 2nd half, then team A is most likely winning the game. End of story.

As for being on par with the rest of the NE, here's your numbers nationally through last week (out of 128 teams), followed by W-L:

[COLOR=#ff8000]Syracuse ... Total O: #93 / Total D: #38 - (3-6)[/COLOR]
Maryland ... Total O: #109 / Total D: #89 ... (6-3)
Boston College ... Total O: #68 / Total D: #11 ... (6-3)
Rutgers ... Total O: #90 / Total D: #82 ... (5-4)
Pitt ... Total O: #52 / Total D: #20 ... (4-5)
Penn St ... Total O: #110 / Total D: #3 ... (4-4)
UCONN ... Total O: #125 / Total D: #48 ... (2-6)

I'd take any of those W-L records outside of UCONN. Clearly Maryland is getting lucky, while our w-l is out of whack with our #'s (pointing to a lot of close games). Pitt is similar to us in that their #'s aren't translating to W's. But they are better than us #'s wise.

Here's the same breakdown, only putting them in order after averaging their D and O rankings:

1. Pitt: 36
2. BC: 39.5
3. Penn St: 56.5
[COLOR=#ff8000]4. Syracuse: 65.5[/COLOR]
5. Rutgers: 86
6. UCONN: 86.5
7. Maryland: 99
