I feel like so much weight is put on stats. I understand that they may be the only way to compare teams on paper. But, the games are not played on paper, they are played on the field. Outside of Alabama (I have not seen Penn State) I have yet to see a team that has the same attitude that Texas has.
Don't all yell all at once, I mean, I know stats are important. But I would argue that outside of points for and points against, everything else can be so misleading. At the end of the day, what matters is the final score of the games, right?
Going back to the attitude thing, Bama and Texas are the two schools that have shown that "it" characteristic on a consistant basis so far this year. I don't care who you are playing against, a team either has the "it" or it doesn't. This has to do with the attitude of the teams! Our D is super aggressive, and our O feels like they can do whatever they want so long as Colt is back there. You can hear it in their voices and in what they say.
I guess that I may be overrating emotions, but in College Football that is probably about half the battle, if not more. Just ask Oregon State, and Ole Miss, and Michigan. On any given Saturday a team can summon up enough "it" to beat any other team, for the most part, but Texas and Bama are the only teams that have seemed to have this emotional edge week in and week out.
Don't beat me up too bad...
HOOK EM!!
