As of Oct. 4, Michigan has played Steven Threet in 5 games so far this year. Terrelle Pryor has seen action in 6 games. And based on stats up until 10/4/08, Steve Threet has ranked higher in total offense than Maurice Clarrett 2.0.
Steven ThreetGames Played In: 5
Rush Yards: 99
Pass Yards: 653

Total Yards: 752
Yards/Play: 4.8
Yards/Gm: 150.4
Terrelle PryorGames Played In: 6
Rush Yards: 312
Pass Yards: 440
Plays: 127
Total Yards: 752
Yards/Play: 5.9
Yards/Gm: 125.3
Not shocking numbers, and of course Pryor has less plays with the same number of total yards, but Threet has played in one less game, so I consider it a wash. But Michigan has been awful this year with the #109 ranked offense in the country. How is it that a transfer from Georgia Tech at a struggling school can have the same offensive output as the greatest recruit of all-time?
These stats are as of 10/4/08.

lol...grasping at straws, are we? Pick your battles, man...this one makes you look foolish.
ReplyDeleteSeriously dude, shall we look at some other stats:
ReplyDeleteUM: 2-4 OSU: 6-1
UM Losses: Toledo (MAC), Utah (MWC) Notre Dame (Independant), and Illinois
OSU Losses: USC (Ranked)
OSU: Bowl Eligible
UM: Under .500
Seriously, pick your battles. You can talk once UM is, well, good.
Okay, really people? Taking me a bit serious on this one? I'd take Pryor on a Pepsi Challenge any day.
ReplyDeleteThe whole idea of this post was to illustrate that stats sometimes don't always tell the whole story.
Im an OSU fan who has been scrutinized for OSU's lack of offense and big game team, so excuse my defensiveness
