So everyone has chimed in on why tOSU will beat ttun this Saturday. Of course the obvious answer of us having the #1 total defense and #6 total offense against their #4 total defense and #69 total offense. We are both obviously the best defenses the other has faced but we have faced 5 better offenses than them. I researched every team each has faced based off of total offense and defense. The average offense faced by our defense is #83.1 while theirs is #81.5 so it came out almost even. With our best offense faced being #35 FAU and theirs being #37 Wisconsin, which was our 2nd best. The same can be said about the offenses against opposing defenses as ours is #50.8 and theirs #49.1. With both the best defenses faced being #7 Wisconsin. Both teams faced 7 top 50 defenses and this is where the difference is big. TOSU has outscored those teams 321-52 or 45.9-7.4. While ttun has outscored their opponents 197-125 or 28.1-17.9. The teams have 6 common opponents played this year, Indiana, Wisconsin, PSU, MSU, Maryland and Rutgers. Obviously we are 6-0 but ttun is 4-2. The 2 games they lost they were outscored 63-35. Those same teams we beat by a combined score of 66-24. That's a 70 point difference in outcome. The final thing to add is the 5 better offenses we faced only scored 62 total points or 12.4 a game. We average more points in the 2nd quarter alone in games this year. I'm predicting a 48-17 score Saturday. Thanks for reading. Go Bucks. O-H
