Army vs. SMU stats (pre Army/Navy)

[The PonyGrad]

Category and differential in rank

Rushing yards per carry SMU + 13
Pass Eff, SMU +19
3rd down conversions, Army +23 (47.6% vs. 43.3%)
TFLs, slight edge on O and D to Army
Total Defense in YPP SMU + 32
Rush D in YPC, SMU +32
Pass Eff D, SMU +14

Punts, Advantage Army
KOR, Even
FG, guessing advantage us since the Army FG kicker is only making 2/3 of kicks.

Looks like overall advantage SMU except that in terms of Turnovers it is Army + 96

I like the way you give details behind the differentials that favor Army, but not the ones that favor SMU.

The Navy game did not change the season stats in any significant way.

Army passed a bit better than their season average.
