fun stats

[JayJ79]

• UNI has held its opponents scoreless for the past 116 minutes of gametime (USD scored 4 minutes in, and then didn't score any for the remaining 56 minutes. And St. F was shut out)
  
• From the start of the second quarter of the USD game, through the first five minutes of this past Saturday's game, the Panthers averaged 1.4 points for every minute of gametime. 70 points in 50 minutes. (or if you want to include the entire USD game, it is 80 points in 65 minutes or 1.23 pts/minute)

And to bring it into Bear Week:

• The Missouri State Bears have not scored a point against the Panthers on the football field for 90.5 minutes of gametime (6 quarters). Their last score was a TD (and XP) with 32 seconds to go in the first half of the game on 11/3/2007.
• UNI has scored 63 points against MSU since then.
• In those 6 quarters, the Bears have gained only 123 net offensive yards, while the Panthers have gained roughly 697 net offensive yards.

Of course, Saturday is a whole new game and we can't rest on our laurels from either the last week(s) or the last year(s). I just thought it was fun to play with the numbers.

Nice stats Jay. Hopefully we continue all of those streaks this week.

Re: fun stats

Thought I'd throw out some attendance stats to do with MVC schools vs non FBS teams the first three weeks of the season. There have been 17 games home and away involving MVC teams, one conference game (In.SU @ SDSU ) and one game where the attendance figure was not available (NDSU @ Sam Houston) (WIU's game at Sam Houston had 6,835)

For the 16 games where attendance was listed, the average att. was 10,152.
Games hosted by conference schools averaged 11,035.
The one conference game in Brookings drew 13,945.
NDSU has had the largest home crown of 18,128.
Youngstown's one home game drew 16,389.
UNI has averaged 11,835 for the Panthers' two home contests.
Southern Illinois has played one home game and drew 8,358. They move into a new stadium next year.
Western Illinois' one home game drew 15,328.


We are always concerned with home attendance figures and rightfully so. As we kick around attendance figures, ticketing policies and revenue, we need to compare "apples to apples." I would hope nationally that the MVC would rank in the top two or three for average attendance--home and away. No attendance figures reflect student attendence and whether they must purchase a ticket. Ticket prices will vary from school to school, but as an comparison I just purchased two tickets to UNI @ SDSU through UNI ticketing and paid $48.

Re: fun stats

Through the first 3 games UNI has had a different reciever lead the team. It is going to be hard for teams to be able to key on just one reciever.

Western Illinois' one home game drew 15,328.

Anyone else have trouble believing that number for WIU?

I was thinking the same thing. I call BS on that one. They had half that crowd last year in Macomb when their highly ranked team played against us on an absolutely beautiful saturday.

Are their stadium upgrades complete?

Re: fun stats

UNI has punted 14 times this season (7 vs Iowa, 3 vs St Francis, 4 vs Mo State, 0 vs USD or Ind St).

That is tied for 3rd fewest overall in the FCS. But as far as punts/game (since UNI has played 5 and many others have played only 4 due to a bye week), they rank 2nd behind only McNeese State, who has punted only 9 times in 4 games.

(actually, we are tied with South Dakota for second in punts/game, as they also have punted 14 times in 5 games)

Now that... that's a fun stat.

Re: fun stats

At first glance I thought both stats were after 5 games. Thought, surprised at slight improvement........hey wait. (insert pix of head slap here).

[Khan4Cats]

Re: fun stats

Those stats on Pat are nice, he has made a nice improvement in his decision making and touch (the Mahaffey TD pass vs Iowa, for example).

The fun stat I like is the one that Gary had on the call in show last night: Our back-up kicker outscored Indiana State last week, by himself, 8-7. Way to go Max!!!

Re: fun stats

I was sure after our defense gave up all those points to NDSU, that we would drop in the scoring defense stat rankings. But our 10.83 ppg is still number #1 in the FCS (though we do now trail Central Arkansas (10.40) who is reclassifying).

Other stats where UNI lands in the top 10 of FCS:
stat - our ranking - our avg - (FCS leader - leading avg)
Rushing Offense - #7 - 216.50 ypg - (Colgate 267.17)
Total Offense - #4 - 468.33 ypg - (Stephen F. Austin 494.40)
Offense per play - #1 - 7.43 ypp
Scoring Offense - #2 - 41.83 - (Stephen F. Austin 47.20)
Scoring Defense - #1* - 10.83 - (Central Arkansas 10.40)
Passing Efficiency - #1 - 185.20

In not-so-good categories, we are #106 in "fewest penalties", (i.e. we have the 13th most penalties in FCS) with 8.67 penalties per game.
And we're #107 in penalty yards (12th most) with 77.83 penalty yards per game.

Nice work. The NDSU game certainly contributed to the "not-so-good categories". Hopefully Farley and company can get it straightened out as the season rolls on.
