USM 24th total Off....18th Total Def....2nd in 3rd down conversions against D
We went 10-2 right? 03-lmfao

Total Offense: 472.10 per game
Total Defense: 330.00 per game
3rd Down conversions by Opponents: 24%

Wait! Fumbles Lost: 126th

But Kentucky was 125th and ULouisville was 128th, so that can't tell the whole story.

Look, I understand stats sometimes LIE, but these stats lie worse than...than....errrrrrr...OK, I won't "say" it!04-cheers

Louisville also stole twice as many fumbles as we did, with UK not far behind.

WAY too often this season, Southern Miss giveth, but Southern Miss doth not taketh away.

This is the thing that gives me hope for the staff. Other than LSU, all of our losses were caused by about 3 horrible plays each game. We would look like the better team for 75% of the game. But when we weren't, we were awful.

I prefer the hungry, fired up on D, not dropping passes thrown right to them version of the team. The O line seemed to have an epiphany of some sort last week as well. HOPfully we'll continue on this current path for the bowl and beyond.

Numbers are good enough on paper that there is no way any coordinators are changed.

The defensive ranking is possibly the most misleading stat I've ever seen. They were downright awful almost all season.

The D ranking is misleading because of the fact that we gave up so many big plays. But other than that, they were really good. Probably the best 3rd down defense we've ever had. Strange year.

Because on third down you're just trying to stop someone from getting a first down and generally they're just trying to get a first down. We were obviously pretty good at that. Most of the big plays showed up before we ever got to third down. May be we have some talent we are just are missing one or two players. Those players seem to be dead in the middle of the defense. One or two of the other long plays that we gave up were missed assignments or Illegal pick plays that did not get called such as against UTSA. We may be able to shore up these things with one more year under this coaching staff and young players coming up. At least I HOPE so.

They were good when we played them.
