In court, that's what we call circumstantial evidence. Cherry-picking offensive numbers, while showing a slim margin of net points...disregarding the fact that at least two of the opponents have proven to be worse than last year. Overwhelming circumstantial evidence can make a case. But this circustantial evidence is very weak to say the least. Edited by BoilerVision, Oct 5 2009, 03:40 PM.

the statistical power rankings clearly dispute what your bitter bias claims. ND is much better than a year ago. |

I guess it's a good thing. I guess this means last year's Gomers would be 1-4 right now. Yo barkeep, get me another! |

ND is giving up an average of 4 more pts and 5 more yards a game. The offense is averaging 120 yards more a game and 6 points a game more than last year. Do the math - that is a net improvement. And Brum and i did discuss the schedule. MSU and Purdue are worse than last year, but Michigan is better and Nevada is an upgrade over San Diego St. What is interesting here is that you continue to spout your opinion as if it was a fact, and yet you get on to Cam for doing the same thing in another thread. |

I've never gotten on Camden about his opinion(s). All I said was it was ridiculous to argue about that timeout for 10 pages. A net improvement of 2 points is definite improvement? Even though they've only played one .500 team? Wow, that's news to me. |

If that's all you got then I must assume you are admitting defeat. Glad you finally woke to reality. |

I'm sure I could cherry-pick offensive numbers to "prove" Purdue has improved since last year. But we all know they haven't. |

How am i cherry picking offensive stats? I'm giving you yards and points, those are the ones that matter. If you must know though, they have improved their pass yards and their rush yards, they also have fewer penalties - though that is close - and have also lower their sack and turnover totals. Basically, they have improved on every single statistacal category on offense. And as far as defense goes, they actaully have more sacks and the same amount of ints as this time last year. But who needs stats to show improvement when you have your opinion. |

Purdue is moving the ball MUCH better than last year. Both the passing game and running game. And, I think everyone on this board would agree that Purdue is worse than last year. I guess this, like the time-out debate, is going nowhere. But given the quality of wins, plus the VERY slim margin of victory in each win (sans winless Nevada), it just doesn't make much sense to say they've proven to be better than last. Weak evidence. Just my opinion. |

BTW, YPG stats are some of the most generic stats in all of sports. According to "ypg", Purdue had like the third or fouth best defense in the Big Ten last year (don't care enough to look it up, it's bogus either way). Wins and losses are not determined by how many yards each team gains, and there are too many contributing factors that can make a bad defense or offense look good...and vice versa. But until the Gomers finally beat a decent team, improvement or lack thereof is just speculation. Edited by BoilerVision, Oct 5 2009, 06:44 PM.

NFW. We would be 1-4. We would beat Purdue. They suck this year. Hey wait... We are 1-4. Go figure. |

1) Interesting that you tell me to grow up...and then go on to add your two cents to this "immature" thread. 2) The difference is that last year they weren't in close games with 1-4 or 2-3 teams, and this year they are. |
