Another Interesting Stat for the day

3rd Down Conversion percentage, offense:
  • Tigers are 95/174 or 54.6% (2nd in nation)
  • Sooners are 80/159 50.3% (6th in nation).

3rd Down conversion percentage, defense

  • Sooners are 59/183 or 32.2% (13th)
  • Tigers are 82/194 or 42.3% (85th)

In the October game:

  • the Sooners were 10/14 on third down, punting three times and kicking one field goal. The Sooners lost two fumbles (one on a kickoff return).
  • the Tigers were 9/16 on third down, punting four times, converting on fourth down once, and throwing two interceptions on third down passes (one on a reverse pass by Jeremy Maclin). Mizzou also had two other turnovers, and a drive to end the first half that concluded with a field goal.

All this to say I expect a Sooner W today, as a result of a better Sooner defense. Should be a fun game.
