I am pretty okay with those stats. The staff gets paid to score TDs, remember? :-)
In years past if I had seen the above stats would have just assumed that OSU in that instance was Oklahoma State.

I love the red zone percentage the most I think. When they don't have a three and out (I.e. every first quarter) they are nigh unstoppable*.

Don't let those stats mislead you. We are only on pace to score 1 more TD than Tressel's last year (2010). We ended that season with 63 touchdowns and 20 field goals.
Edit: I guess that would have included a bowl game as well.
Considering Coach Meyer has said this Offense isn't anywhere close to where he wants it to be, those stats actually seem pretty impressive to me. Just imagine where they could end up if the Offense really starts clicking and scores early and often. *faints*
T-2 in INTs. Opportunistic!
BTWrestle, that was a great offensive team. 20th in total offense for the entire season, 450 yards per game, etc etc.
The point is that this team isn't kicking FG's. It is scoring TD's in the red zone at an incredible rate.
vacuuming sucks
nice stats post Maestro
O H I O is the Buckeye State
Puts a new spin on "being in the zone." Will we have a difficult time recruiting PKs since field goals appear to be a thing of the past?

If finding a place kicker to come to OSU becomes a problem then I'm ok with that problem if we continue to play the way we do. Being the special teams guru Urban is though, I don't think he would allow that to become a problem.

"if irony were made of strawberries, we' d all be drinking a lot of smoothies right now."
Remember when there was half serios half joking speculation for our place kicker to be Heisman a few years back? Thank goodness those days are over.
Stat #3 is sooooo sweet. I loved, LOVED Tress as our coach... But holy shit I hated taking field goals in the redzone.
Reading that is like taking the first sip of an ice cold beer. delicious, satisfying and you know there is more good to come.
I know there's a game saturday, and my ass will be there.
