BOOM!!!

Alright, here's how it breaks down by the numbers.  National ranks are in parentheses. 

	Wabash	DePauw
Rush O	170.67 (83)	108.13 (193)
Pass O	202.00 (101)	165.25 (163)
Total O	372.67 (89)	273.38 (206)
Scoring O	32.78 (47)	15.75 (211)
Rush D	67.00 (3)	94.75 (24)
P.Eff. D	98.33 (28)	110.31 (71)
Total D	255.56 (16)	301.38 (48)
Scoring D	10.33 (5)	17.25 (42)
Net Punt	32.00 (91)	33.90 (44)
Punt Ret.	20.70 (4)	11.72 (41)
KO Ret.	21.00 (46)	21.39 (39)
TO Margin	0.89 (35)	-0.13 (142)
Pass D	188.56 (110)	206.63 (160)
Pass Eff.	152.19 (21)	97.68 (194)
Sacks	2.78 (32)	1.63 (155)
TFL	6.56 (101)	5.25 (184)
Sacks All.	2.33 (t-163)	3.00 (209)

That is....well, that's a table that tells us that we've got a pretty serious mismatch on our hands.  Of these 17 statistical categories kept by the NCAA, Wabash ranks higher than DePauw in FIFTEEN of them.  DePauw has a statistical edge in net punting and kickoff returns.  Between #84 back deep to recieve punts and Wabash's punt block (got two last week), I'm not buying any punt advantage for DePauw.  As for KO return, Wabash's average has been skewed lower since teams stopped kicking it deep.  I certainly welcome DePauw to kick deep, probably just the once at whatever half they kick off to start, and see who has a better return game. 

Anything can happen and blah blah blah...that table above tells a pretty clear story about where these two teams are at in 2011.  They aren't very close.

Thanks BashBro.

Here is the link to the first Sports Illustrated article published in 1973.  Wabash's current AD was one of the captains of the team when this was written.

if i'm not mistaken, the last time a heist took place was '98....when debash was 9-0 coming in with a playoff bid on the line.....and i'm sure, if you went back and dug up the statistical analysis of those teams coming in, it'd be awfully one-sided as well.  it took what wasn't yours.....i remember that ass-whoopin' well.....

Absolutely despicable.  How you think that situation is in any way, shape, form, or fashion funny...I don't even have words.  Shameful, shameful post.

Links are fine, copying and pasting a whole story is not.

Gotcha.... my bad.

These DPU tools continue to amaze me with their swagger and confidence.  The all-male stuff is so original and consistently shows they just don't get it.  Who cares.

We have talked about a webcast of sorts for the Stag - and you guessed it, there were major concerns about liabilities, ethics, and potentially offensive material.  . It's a great event!!

Wally, I'd like to point out that some of those numbers, particularly how Wabash's offense matches up with DePauw's defense, are very similar to the 2008 numbers. That Wabash team was 4th in the country in scoring. DePauw's D was 161st at 27 ppg, but they gave that Wabash offense 0 at half and 14 total, if I recall.  It has happened before and it can happen again.  DePauw can stop this team and they can make it a grind for the full 60.

For the record - stalking is creepy.

Shave all the mohawks you want, wallies neither intimidate nor impress us.  As for "the all-male stuff", what did you expect when you enrolled at Crawfordstucky Tech?  Being the target of razzing is a wally's destiny.  If you can take a Dick, you can take a joke.

As much as I love statistical analysis and loathe tired cliches, for this game I throw out all metrics - basic and advanced.

Loathing on this level overshadows any number crunching.

Still, in my heart, I know Wabash should blast DPU back their dorms rooms, Zima in hand, with great ease.
