[NU Sports] stats

[Abrahamson, Alan (NBC Universal)]

Fascinating stat package on the front of www.cfbstats.com that I'd
recommend to each of you about Kafka's performance. He out-did Vince
Young's rushing performance in the 2006 Rose Bowl.
 
Also, re OSU: let's all take a deep breath. OK. Everyone ready now?
 
Yes, the Buckeyes have whipped us way too many years to count.
 
Yes, they're big and bad and mean and yah yah yah yah.
 
Reality: this year's Buckeyes are beatable.
 
Back to cfbstats.com:
 
Scoring offense -- Northwestern 59th in the nation at 26 points per
game, Ohio State 69th at 24 ppg.
 
Scoring defense -- Ohio State 8th at 13 points per game, Northwestern
22nd at 18 ppg.
 
The 2008 Wildcats beat the 2008 Buckeyes if 1) the Wildcats play
turnover-free, penalty-free football and 2) the Wildcats aren't freaked
out by playing the Bucks and realize going in that they can win.
 
Expect victory, ladies and gentlemen.
 
Go Wildcats!
