Ok, Ive been thinking about this subject for a while and today I finally had time to research the facts. Yes, we give up a lot of points, but we also score a lot which gives our opponents extra possessions to score. Anyway, here are the numbers:
First off, here are the offensive scoring ranks for Oklahoma and Florida opponents:
Florida's Opponents: Offensive Scoring Rank (avg) = 62.3 (Citadel not included)
Oklahoma's Opponents: Offensive Scoring Rank (avg) = 31.7 (we played much better offenses, duh) (Chattanooga not included)
Points Per Possession:
Florida opponents had a total of 167 points scored on 160 possessions which equals 1.04 points per possession.
Oklahoma opponents had a total of 319 points scored on 190 possessions which equals 1.68 points per possession.
That is a bit of a discrepancy, but when you look at the difference in opponents offensive ranks, it's kind of a wash.
One thing is for sure....it's gonna be a helluva National Championship game and it will be settled on the field!
