Over those four games TCU gave up .25/points per game more than OU's season average. But TCU scored 2 points less per game than OU had been giving up. So statistically you're wrong.
Or by yards/game, we held them 55 yards/game below their average. But we gained 37 yards less per game than they were giving up. There is no doubt our offense has performed well below the defense on an equivalent basis.
first, you can't find where i defended the offense. my point was that the offense has not been the primary problem against ou the past few games.
second, the great thing about stats is you can make them say whatever you want them to say.
example, in the last 4 seasons against big 12 opponents ( 37 total games) the frogs have outscored opponents on average 28.6 to 24.8 (+3.8)
take the 5 games against ou out of that average and tcu outscored opponents 28.8 to 22.0 (+6.8)
the 5 games against ou the frogs have been outscored on average 27.8 to 42.6 (-14,8)
based on your numbers that frogs offense in the five games against ou the last 4 years have scored on averaged about a point a game versus the big 12, but defensively they have given up a much bigger margin which basically means nothing.
as wex points out the end numbers get skewed because in the first 2017 game and the 2018 game because they pulled back.
yes, the offense did disappear in the 2 quarter of the 2016 game, but how does that explain the defense and a 18 point lead disappearing as well.
additionally, how does the offense explain the tcu defense giving up over 400 yards and 38 points in the first half of the first game in 2017 and 28 points and almost 300 yards in the first quarter of 2018?
