Wow: SMU is 18-1 when scoring first but 0-16 when opponent scores first.

The one loss was TCU this year, right?

Yup.

What's shocking to me about that is that one of the biggest criticisms of the RnS is that it can't hold a lead. Can't say that here.

Seems a little extreme, but so that we have something to compare it to what would reasonable expectations be for a team who scores first?

I can only find data for the Super Bowl which I know is not comparing apples to apples, but the team that scores first has won about 63% of the time.

SMU needs to score first and score often...that's it...we don't want to put the defense on the field!

What this says to me is that (no surprise) we struggle early against quality teams. It has been posted to death that virtually all of our wins come against teams outside of the Sagarin top 80. This confirms that those are the only teams we are really prepared for. When we play a quality team, they come out of the gates faster and get on the board first.

So you're saying SMU has been playing football since before the dawn of man?

Depends on who you ask. The young earth folks would tell you that the devil put those football records there to tempt their faith.

It was much easier to win before the dawn of man. I know. I was there when man dawned and witnessed the transition.

That was when the RnS was picking up steam.
