Inside the Stats: Southern Miss.

[Javi C]

I've been having fun on Twitter sending out interesting stats I find. So I decided to post the stats that I think are important depending on who UTSA is playing. Since this is a new feature I'm open for suggestions. If you guys think I should have a stat on here every time let me know.

*All stats are against FBS competition

Scoring Offense:

UTSA - 22.7 PPG
So. Miss - 31.8 PPG

Passing Offense:

UTSA - 212 YDS/PG
So. Miss - 346 YDS/PG (2nd in CUSA)

Rushing Defense:

UTSA - 147 YDS/PG (2nd in CUSA)
So. Miss - 205 YDS/PG

Tackles for a loss allowed:

UTSA - 46 (last in CUSA)
So. Miss - 24

Sacks:

UTSA - 9
So. Miss - 11

Sacks Allowed:

UTSA -19 (Last in CUSA)
So. Miss - 12

Rushing plays of 10+ yards:

UTSA - 31 (1st in CUSA)
So. Miss - 23

Rushing plays of 10+ yards allowed:

UTSA - 20
So. Miss - 33

Passing plays of 10+ yards:

UTSA - 55
So. Miss - 62

Passing plays of 10+ yards allowed:

UTSA - 64 (2nd worst in CUSA)
So. Miss - 47

Here's what stands out to me. UTSA defense better step up against the passing game. With Gaines out this will be a bit more complicated. UTSA will be able to make So. Miss one dimensional by taking away the running game. Hopefully this will lead to third and long situations for the USM offense. The UTSA offensive line is doing a god awful job at protection the QB. Not only that, but is last in TFL's allowed. THAT IS TERRIBLE.

It's crazy how many rushing plays of 10+ yards UTSA has, they need to keep that up this week. The UTSA rushing defense is solid like it always has been.
