I thought I would look at what teams that played Bama has averaged offensively for the year and what they gained vs Bama,
1. Wis: averages: 405.6 vs Bama 268 = negative 137.6
2. ULM: averages: 328 vs Bama 92 = negative 236
3. A&M: averages: 453 vs Bama 316 = negative 137 They also got 5 additional offensive possessions because of the picks and fumble on the punt.
4. Ark: averages: 433.3 vs Bama 220 = negative 213.3
5. UGa: averages: 429 vs Bama 299 = negative 130
6. MTU: averages 443.9 vs Bama 275 = negative 168.9
7. OM: averages 521 vs Bama 433 = negative 88. They also had two fluke plays that went for 139 yards plus they had 3 extra possessions because of ints.
Not to create more work for you, Coach, but I suspect the rushing only stats would be even more impressive.
Wis: avg: 154.6 vs Bama 40 = negative 114.6
ULM: avg: 106.8 vs Bama 9 = negative 97.8
A&M: avg: 162 vs Bama 32 = negative 130
MT: avg: 143.3 vs Bama 86 = negative 57
OM: avg: 167.1 vs Bama 92 = negative 75.1
Ga: avg: 215.6 vs Bama 193 = negative 22.6
Ark: avg:177.3 vs Bama 44 = negative 133.3
Wow, many thanks, Coach. I didn't think of it, but of course the negatives are lower because of the smaller figures. This really shows how our Bama destroys the running game.
