Just killing time on my lunch break...thought I'd look at how the first quarter of the season was stacking up so far...
Offense
Penalties: Ark - 20/196 yds; Opp - 14/101 yds; Net diff - 6/95 yds
Opponents' Combined Record: 6-2
Looking at those collective stats, it would suggest that we'd be 3-0, but stats are deceiving...we really should be 2-1 though...Texas Tech was just a better team...besides a struggling running game (our opponents have more rushing TD's than we do and all three play spread offenses), and ineffectiveness in the red-zone - penalties (and their timing) are obviously killing us, and our defense has got to start getting sacks and getting off the field on 3rd down...
BTW - Toledo beat Iowa State (Big-12) last week 30-23 at home.
