Happiness on Saturday
Nov 18, 2020, 11:36 AM

This is not looking for score predictions (we already have that thread), but what statistical numbers would make you happy coming out of the Tigers game vs FSU this Saturday?
Offensive points: Mine is 42+
Defensive points: Mine is anything less than 20
Rush yards: The magic number for our program has been 200 passing and rushing. I want to see that 200 rushing Saturday.
Turnover margin: +2 with 0 giveaways for the Tigers
1st half points (offense): 28
1st quarter points (defense): 7 or less (The recent trend of poor defensive starts kills our game rhythm IMO)
Defensive 3rd down %: Less than 30% (No 3rd and 8+ given up)
Yard per carry (offense): 6+ (We have to get the 30+ yard run for ETN. People can crowd the line when on plays where they don't stop us short we only get 10. If they lose faith in DBs to make the 10 yard tackle then they have to relax the run pressure which makes it easier to get over 5-6 per carry.)
Sacks (defense): 4+ (I really want more but I don't want to be hard to please)
There are probably some important stats that I am missing, but these stand out to me because they are either areas where we have struggled lately or they are areas that I think are important to be strong moving forward.
I would love to know what some others think about these stats or others.

I think we would all be happy with more sacks.

If we need to start holding like everyone else does, and we get called once or twice a game, and it allows us to get ETN over 100 and our team over 200 then I will take it all day!

I wanted to put that but it felt a little "jinxie".
Definitely high on my list though!

I want our offensive line to come out and show fortitude and blow FSU off the ball. ET should get 200 yards on his own.

It would take 2 runs of 40+ for ETN to get 200 on his own unless our defense just decides to not show up at all for the game.
I'm all for him getting multiple huge runs, but if he is getting a solid 6-10 without the big ones and we are running really well, then I would imagine we score a ton of points and his day is done with 120-140 yards and 16-17 carries.
I believe the only time in his career he has gone for 200 in a blowout was '19 GA Tech and he had a TD run of roughly 80 and another 30+ run with it. He just doesn't carry it enough in blowouts to get it on typical runs.
