hmmm, I found this on a Gator board of all places and dont have the inclination to bother checking it out. Sounds kinda right to me. Anyone want to verfify the figures?
I've been reading a lot of message boards lately and have been noticing how many threads there were talking about OU running up the score on teams and Bradford being left in the game to inflate his numbers, so I did a little number crunching and here's what I found...
OU has scored 456 points in the first half this season, averaging 35 points per game in the first 2 quarters. If they never scored again the rest of the game they would still be the 20th best scoring offense in the nation.
They have scored 248 points in the second half of games, averaging about 19 points per game the final 2 quarters. (less than 3 TDs per game in the 2nd half)
In the 4th Quarter this year, they have scored 93 points, 45 of those coming in the last 2 games vs. OSU and Missouri (24 vs. OSU... a game they won by 20) This averages out to about 7 points per game over the season and just 4 points per game if you take out the last 2. OU has scored 7 points or less in 10/12 games this season in the 4th Quarter, (0 points in 4 of them)
