A Few Stats

[The Maudfather]

• We are currently 7th in the nation in rush offense, averaging 255.1 yards/game.
  
• We are currently 5th in the nation in yards per rush attempt, averaging 5.7 yards/attempt.
  
• We are 24th in rushing play percentage, running the ball 59%
  
• We're currently 16th in the nation in rushing attempts/game, averaging 44.6/game.
  

How can anyone bitch about Tim Beck when we have rushing statistics like these? These are elite numbers, folks.

• We are currently 89th in the nation in penalty yards/game, averaging 63.4 penalty yards/game.
  
• We are currently 120th (tied with Arkansas) in the nation in fumbles/game, averaging 2.5 fumbles/game. (The 3 teams below us are Hawaii, Colorado and Memphis)
  
• We are currently 117th in the nation in fumbles lost/game, averaging 1.5 fumbles lost/game.
  
• We are currently 117th in the nation in giveaways/game, averaging 2.5 giveaways/game.
  
• We are currently 113th in the nation in turnover margin/game, averaging a turnover margin of -1.1/game.
  
• We are 93rd in the nation in takeaways/game, averaging 1.4 takeaways/game.
  
• Taylor Martinez is tied for 2nd in the nation with 9 fumbles.
  
• Taylor Martinez is also tied for 2nd in the nation with 5 fumbles lost.
  

It is simply amazing that despite some of these just horrid statistics, we are somehow 7-2, controlling our own destiny with the potential to play in the Rose Bowl. We could VERY easily be 4-5 right now, if we hadn't come back against Wisconsin, Northwestern and Michigan State. You have to give credit to this team for not giving up and fighting back.

Where did you find the fumble stats? I always have a hard time finding data on fumbles.

Passing we are not high on, except for Average Yard per reception. We are not a pass first team, otherwise I think we would be higher on that list. I am at work, and websites are restricted, otherwise I would give our placement.
