KU vs Louisiana Tech Chart Breakdown

We added the full table of stats this week as well (at the bottom). The main thing that jumped out at me is that maybe we were a little predictable running on 21 of 31 first down plays and passing 13 of 14 plays on third down. Of course, nine of those third downs were long yardage, plus as Mark Mangino said you might as well take what they give you.

 

  

KU vs Florida International Chart Breakdown

  Behold the power of Excel as we get into the charts from last Saturday's Florida International. I love getting into the stats, but the reality is you gain the most just by watching the game. Generally, what seems to be happening is happening. Sometimes though, it's good to look a little deeper and see that the stats do back up what you thought you were seeing.

The main things I would note:

• KU's success on first down both offensively (4.82 yd ave) and defensively (2.58 yd ave allowed)
  
• FIU's conversion rates on third down -- 27% on 11 attempts for third and long
