Interesting Stats Projections

Submitted by caup on

If Michigan's offense averages 373 yards per game in their last 8 games (which obv. includes a bowl game) then they will set the M record for most yards in a season.

If the M offense averages 406 yards per games in their last 8 games they will set the M record for most yards per game in a season.

If the M offense averages 32 points per game in their last 8 games they will have scored the most points of any M offense since 1902.

If the M offense averages 38.3 points per game in their last 8 games they will have scored the most points per game of any M offense since 1902.

If the M offense only averages 32.8 points per game in their last 8 games they will have scored the most points per game since the Mad Magicians team of 1947.

 

If the Michigan defense averages.... wait.

Never mind.

but loses the next seven games (which they will most certainly not) All the fireworks will be for nothing as it would all certainly implode.

Right now, the most important stats to me are: 1. no turnovers Saturday;  2. give up no big plays on Special Teams; 3. keep MSU under 425 yards total O and UM keep on the pace they have been.

If those three things happen, we'll be 6-0 and the fear and loathing of Michigan football's return will begin in earnest.

Usually, these kinds of projections are clearly unattainable, but the only one here that looks really unlikely will be the point-per-game average.  I definitely expect to set the yardage mark.  Total points will be tough but not impossible.
