ASU's offensive line didn't play as well as ours (in either sacks allowed or TFLs allowed), though interestingly they dominated their conference in time of possession, just like MSU did.

It's not apples-to-apples, though. I'd like to see an analysis of the defenses that each team faced. I doubt ASU saw anything like the Georgia, Auburn, Alabama defensive gauntlet.Quote:

I would be perfectly happy if the next coach just goes about his business and doesn't prod ole miss. They don't need it and it only makes living with them harder than it already is.Quote:

Yeah, it's definitely hard to compare teams' stats when they're in different conferences. But that's why I used stats for conference games only, which should hopefully at least somewhat show how each offense performed against like-talented teams. So yeah, maybe ASU's offense wouldn't have been so good on third downs or in the red zone if it was facing SEC defenses. But that's not fair either, because ASU's offense is stocked with PAC 12 talent, not SEC talent.Quote:

It's a rivalry game and if you think they aren't still pissed and aren't gonna turn the Egg Bowl into a war ever year, you're mistaken. We have to bring intensity to that game and I want a coach that's gonna treat it like a rivlary game.Quote:
