Crunching the Numbers: UW at OSU

by Jake on Nov 8, 2007 7:04 AM PST in Football

It's interesting-- the Huskies are 3-6 compared to the Beavers 5-4, but the Huskies have better offensive statistics in almost every category. I guess that goes to show how good Oregon State defense is, and how much it compensates for the struggling offense.

The stats:

	Oregon State	Washington	Edge
Scoring: Points/Game	24.7	28.6	UW
First Downs: Total	170	176	UW
Rushing: Yards / Attempt	3.98	4.96	UW
Passing: Rating	102.61	110.65	UW
Passing: Yards	1882	1747	OSU
Total Offense: Yards / Play	4.9	5.6	UW
Total Offense: Plays - Yards	665 - 3230	622 - 3482	UW
Punt Returns: Yards / Return	5.79	9.69	UW
Kickoff Returns: Yards / Return	19.98	20.10	UW
Punting: Yards / Punt	34.08	40.33	UW
Punting: Punts - Yards	59 - 2011	49 - 1976	OSU
Interceptions: Returns - Yards - TD	12 - 192 - 2	9 - 86 - 1	UW
Fumbles: Number - Lost	13 - 7	18 - 8	OSU
Penalties: Number - Yards	53 - 476	54 - 403	UW
3rd Down Conversions: Conversion %	34.29%	42.65%	UW
4th Down Conversions: Conversion %	69.23%	62.5%	OSU
Red Zone: Success %	78.38%	84.38%	UW
Field Goals: Success %	75%	64.3%	OSU
Field Goals: Attempts - Made	16 - 12	14 - 9	OSU
PAT Kicking: Success %	100%	97%	OSU
PAT Kicking: Attempts - Made	24 - 24	33 - 32	OSU
2-Point Conversions: Success %	50%	-	OSU
2-Point Conversions: Attempts - Made	2 - 1	0 - 0	OSU

Discuss here. The good thing UW having a good offense is that we have a good defense to stop it. The key to the game will be getting production from our offense, who will be led by Lyle Moevao this week.

Again, here is the place for discussion.

GO BEAVERS!

UW offense

Actually, UW doesn't look significantly better on paper in many categories besides yards per carry and scoring, which is good, I suppose. In spite of what's going on a QB, I've got a good feeling about this weekend. Not many tickets left. Should be loud. I think that'll be important.

The one stat that does stick out is punt returns. I wish they would try someone else back there besides Kavanaugh. Seems like the perfect place for someone like Rodgers.

Also, not to nitpick, but UW's got the edge in interceptions, not OSU.

Thanks for straightening me out...

Sometimes I forget that interceptions are a bad thing, not a good thing. ha.

I also have a good feeling about Saturday. I think you'll see in an interview I'll post tomorrow morning with a Husky blogger that they don't have much confidence in their defense. Oregon State should also dominate the line of scrimmage, which is always a good thing.
