I’m not sure what to make of this. Nothing glaring stands out to me. All in all seems like typical stats for the first 2 weeks of any conference season.

while doing stats this weekend, I kept thinking that the quality of play suffered on the second day; the stats (more than just watching ODU) shows that play is down on day 2. Teams with better used benches may well have advantages.

What are you judging quality of play based on?

eye ball test: guys jogging on D; errant passes; the sort of signs of tired guys and uninspired/poor play
