WVstatechamp1990 Posted September 27, 2007 Group: Member Topic Count: 0 Content Count: 218 Reputation: 35 Days Won: 0 Joined: 09/09/2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 WVU and USF have so far this year played, ECU & UNC respectively. Conviently enough both ECU and UNC have already played this year, so this creates a comparison opportunity. Lets take a look at what it indicates, you stats lovers....This year, USF is averaging just over 30 ppg while WVU is averaging 48 ppg.UNC 31, ECU 34 Both teams scored at least 4 touchdowns. If you take a look at the UNC-ECU game, you will see both teams were very similar with ECU being a little better by winning in the end Both teams had over 20 - 1st downs, ECU passed for 406 yards on UNC while UNC passed for 344 yards on ECU... both teams had over 400 yards total yards, UNC 423 and ECU 470.What happened when USF played UNC and how does that performance compare against the ECU teams achievements? Lets take a look...Against UNC....USF had 428 total yardsECU had 470 total yardsUSF had 234 Passing yardsECU had 406 Passing yardsUSF had 194 Rushing yardsECU had 64 Rushing yardsUSF had 3 FumblesECU had 0 FumblesUSF intercepted 3 passesECU intercepted 1 passesUSF scored 37 pointsECU scored 34 points*What does this tell us? ECU had a better and more effective passing game but USF rushed much better and for more against UNC. USF only scored 3 more points on UNC than ECU but was given the ball from pass interceptions 3 more times than ECU was given by UNC passers. USF handled the ball poorly with 3 fumbles while sure handed ECU had none.--------------------------ECU 7, WVU 48 ECU was held to 1 score, while WVU scored 6 Touchdowns and 2 Fgs.WVU had 30 first downs, while ECU put out 13. WVU passed for 202 yards, while ECU only managed 54 yards passing. WVU had 599 total yards and ECU put up 160.What happened when WVU played ECU and how does that performance compare against the UNC teams achievements? Lets take a look...Against ECU....WVU had 599 total yardsUNC had 423 total yardsWVU had 202 Passing yardsUNC had 344 Passing yardsWVU had 397 Rushing yardsUNC had 79 Rushing yardsWVU had 0 FumblesUNC had 1 FumblesWVU intercepted 1 passUNC intercepted 0 passWVU scored 48 pointsUNC scored 31 points*What does this tell us? Both teams passed at will against ECU. UNC had trouble rushing against ECU but WVU made them look like ragdolls, 79 to 397 yards respectively. WVU put up 3 more scores on ECU than UNC did. WVU was turnover free, while UNC gave up a fumble to ECU.-----------------------------------------How does all this help us make a comparison? Well both UNC and ECU are very close to each other, in terms of thier styles, gains, capabilites and most importantly of all both teams have played either WVU or USF this year!So lets compare the stats from these games and see what would happen head-to-head between USF and WVU.Total Yards: 428 to 599, advantage WVUPassing Yards: 234 to 202, advantage NobodyPass Att/Comp: 18-33 to 22-25, advantage WVURushing Yards: 194 to 397, advantage WVUYard p/Rush: 3.7 to 7.4, advantage WVUPenalties: 7 to 3, advantage WVUTurnovers: 3 to 0, advantage WVUA more extended look, lets take a look at the "D"... of each time and compare that between USF and WVU.Total Yards Against: 164 to 160, advantage NobodyPassing Yards Against: 85 to 54, advantage slightly WVU Pass Att/Comp Against: 11-27 to 9-18, advantage slightly USFRushing Yards Against: 79 to 106, advantage slightly USFYard p/Rush Against: 2.3 to 3.2, advantage slightly to USFPenalties Forced: 7 to 6, advantage NobodyTurnovers Forced: 4 to 1, advantage USF*We now have the most accurate comparison as possible this year as if both our teams played against the same opponent. Offensively WVU clearly has the superior offense and will score more points than USF, the WVU rushing game averages more than twice as much per carry than USF and the WVU passing game is more accurate. USF often makes more mistakes in both penalties and fumbles. Defensively, both teams are very similar, both held to less than 170 total yards and less than 90 yards passing. Rushing defense both hold teams to 2-3 yards per carry on average. USF has the edge on forcing turnovers.My conclusion is that for USF to win, they will have to somehow change their game and stop getting penalized. They will also have to learn how to hold onto the ball and stop fumbling. Thier defense is going to have to someone find a way to make WVU turn the ball over from sure handed backs and a QB that has yet to toss an INT this year. WVU will score points and more often than USF unless the Bulls force some takeaways.The teams will be playing each other, so I will adjust the scores down by 2 TD each. My final score prediction is WVU 34 - USF 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have easily been a 34 point win if UNC didn't score with 1:09 left in the game and our third string defense on the field. You've proved nothing, provided nothing of any value to this boardI move that we ban this goof Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our 4th RB scored a TD on ECU. Based on the metrics prior to removing the first string team, you could add 27% more to all WVU's stats if you want to go that route... what would that be? 750 total yards? 65 points? 40 first downs? I say we leave that argument out for USF's sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
