Cumulative stats for our 4 CFP games vs Alabama


Jan 28, 2019, 12:44 PM

I compiled this because of my own interest but thought I might as well share it.

If you look at the cumulative stats for the 4 games, it's hard to accept any of the excuses
for their losses.

We lead in most of the important categories. But in many ways the stats are pretty even.
Obviously, we have been more productive with the pass and they have been more productive on the ground.

We had more total yards in 3 of the 4 games.

In the first game, we had more rushing yards and passing yards than Bama did and almost twice as many first downs.
But the onside kick and the kickoff return for a TD were too much for us to overcome.

Who knows how long this streak of playing them in the playoff will continue. But I like the way it's trending.
GO TIGERS!!!

Bama is about done.

They might make the PO one more year but they won't survive the first round. After that Saban will die or retire. I fear the old man has gone the way of many great sports figures. He will stay in the game long enough to smear his legacy.

Just think he is nasty enough to scare off good assistants and coordinators. And that will be his undoing. It takes time for coaches to learn schemes and systems and get the players' trust. They just don't hang around long enough in Tuscaloser. A decided advantage for the Tigers.

Great post and Thanks.

Two telling numbers,, time of possession... Our last 10 minute drive brought it up to equal.
Our turnovers gave them a few more opportunities.

All said, we matched them with Physicality... Thought it with the eye test all four years.

We're built to play with anybody....

Last years stats do not win next years game.

Bama fans who want to talk stats or games past are re-playing old history and sooner or later in the discussion will bring up Bear Bryant.

Best use of these stats are with Gamecocks.

Bama brings back a lot of players. They are having a super recruiting year. I don't know who's gonna coach'em, but they will win a lot of games and get the benefit of any doubt regarding the playoff.

I'm looking forward to next year. If we make it back to the CFP, Truth is, I'd rather play Southern Cal or Michigan.
