The defense is playing great, situational defense. They are making the plays they need to in order to get off the field on 3rd down. Okie Jr was just 13% on 3rd down conversions!!

Mac… were you having trouble falling asleep last night… or what?

I agree with you though… the stats from yesterday's game are quite misleading.

The 2nd half domination of Okie St was quite impressive.

Kind of surprised at the time of possession numbers. Thought there would be a slightly more of a wider gap. The pick 6 skewed the score versus how the game was going at the time, but it is part of the bottom line within the stats.

2nd quarter domination, they barely had the ball in second half lol

Interesting fact…

For the month of October (4 games) West Virginia was tops in the Big 12 - and 4th nationally - in Third Down Defense (21%).

Actually, I was. I'm just switching from 3rd shift to 1st shift, so I'm all kinds of wonky.

Don't miss those days, especially when my kids were younger. Hated 3-11PM shift unless I was doubling for another Manager.
