Overall: 46-24, 65.714% (46 wins divided by 70 total games).

Patterson vs. Briles Total Points Overall:
Note: This analysis totals all points for both Patterson and Briles in all of their head-to-head match-ups (see Patterson vs. Briles Overall above).
Patterson total points vs. Briles: 62+34+45+48+49+38+58+28 = 362
Briles total points vs. Patterson: 55+27+10+50+21+41+61+21 = 286
Summary: Patterson’s Teams outscored Briles’ Teams by 76 points. However, it has always been alleged that Briles was the master offensive points generator. This misconception does not hold against Patterson. This is true even when restricting the analysis to Big 12-only games, in the years 2012 to 2015. In these Big 12 head-to-head games, Patterson’s Frogs outscored Briles’ Bears 173 to 144, for a Patterson advantage of 29 points.
