🏈 Injury Luck

[252BAMA]

A subject Coach Bryant referred to on many occasions. Had no idea that tOSU lost but 4 starts in 2014 to injury. Very interesting stats on the following season for teams with the highest and lowest.

Lost 5 Starts or Fewer

In the last 8 years, there have been 56 teams that have lost 5 or fewer starts. Of this 56, the results are as follows:

• 37 had a worse record (66.1%)
• 6 had the same record (8.9%)
• 43 had a worse or same record (76.8%)

This year’s teams that fall into this category are:

• • Ohio State- 4
  • Fresno State- 5
  • Michigan State- 5

Notice 2 in the big 10? Must not hit very hard. It would be funny except tOSU beat us.
