National Championship: Ohio State vs. Florida

some select quotes from a swamp gas post for ya

1. Chris Leak passed for more yards than Troy Smith this year. We've defeated several QBs with better yardage totals, including Woodson of UK, Russell of LSU, Wilson of Bama, and even Ainge of UT despite his injury--holding all of their teams to 20 points or less.

2. Deshawn Wynn (UF #1 RB) averages more yards per carry than Antonio Pittman (OSU #1 RB). Some RBs we've faced this year who are also statistically better than or equal to Pittman in YPC: McFadden and Jones (Ark), Lumpkin (UGA), Boyd (SCar), Fletcher (USM) -- all of whom we've held under 100 yards
 
The vaunted OSU passing attack, behind Heisman Trophy QB Troy Smith and five legendary receivers (according to some posters), has only thrown for more than 300 yards once this season (and that took 41 attempts against the #75 pass defense in the country).
 
. Penn State, a statistically and physically inferior defense to UF, held OSU to just 253 yards IN COLUMBUS. (OSU won 28-6, but the score was inflated by two late defensive TDs by the Buckeyes. It was 7-3 going into the 4th.)

3-0 at half time, and that's only because Kelly missed a 30 some yard fg. :wink:

I don't think our coverage has been very good this year..... and ours is better than yours.......

And like I said, with all the plays you make on ST's.... I would think you'ed be among the leagues best.


Perhaps I worded it wrong.... how about "Not as good as I'd have thought"

Now...what about the rest of that post....?

Looks like you had it wrong according to the NCAA's official stats
http://web1.ncaa.org/d1mfb/natlRank.jsp?year=2006&div=4&rpt=IA_teamkoreturndef&site=org
Both teams in the top 20, so I would so both teams are doing just fine in that category.

On a very interesting note, UF looks to have a decided advantage in a very important category, Punt Coverage
http://web1.ncaa.org/d1mfb/natlRank.jsp?year=2006&div=4&rpt=IA_teampuntretdefense&site=org

UF is #4 at 3.22 ypr
OSU is #55 at 8.27 ypr

Punt return yardage for both teams is similar, yet UF is still ranked higher
http://web1.ncaa.org/d1mfb/natlRank.jsp?year=2006&div=4&rpt=IA_teampuntret&site=org
UF is #39 at 10.47
OSU is #42 at 10.10

Looks like UF doesn't have to worry as much about Ginn as OSU has to worry about Brandon James.

Yet Troy Smith won the Heisman by doing all that he did and rarely playing the 4th quarter.

Had Troy played entire games, he would have been well over 300 yrds a game and most like ave. something like 4-6 TD passes a game.

Think before you post...it'll help you not look so uninformed.
