In honor of the new $95M contract and how much Les underused him while in Baton Rouge...I think this is fitting...

Fallica also has produces some interesting info via tweet:

- Last year there were two teams that won at least 4 games by 7 points or fewer and had a TO margin of at least +10. They were UCF: 4-0, +17 TO and South Carolina: 5-1, +11 TO.
- Ranked Auburn teams have lost nine straight games away from home (4 neutral/5 road) vs ranked opponents. 6 Washington vs 9 Auburn Saturday in Atlanta. Guessing it will feel like a de facto home game for Auburn though. Haven't heard how many UW fans will be making the trip.
- Last year Michigan threw a TD on just 2.6% of its pass attempts. The only Power 5 teams that were worse were Rutgers and Illinois. Those two went a combined 6-18 last year.
-For those interested, no Power 5 team has played more than 10 road games vs Non-Conf P5 teams since 2008. The team that leads the way - Georgia with 10. USC, Georgia Tech, Stanford have 9. Wake, Clemson, UCLA have 8. Excludes Notre Dame which isn't in a conference.
- Louisville will be the 9th Power Five non-conference opponent Alabama has opened with since 2008. That's the most for any Power Five team in that span. LSU is 2nd with 7 (Miami being the 7th).
 
This is a particularly insane stat from Purdum:

• 127: The number of games that have featured a point spread of -7 over the past three seasons. Seven-point favorites are 57-57-13.
 
Woodson is a great 2 and of course UM will have a 1, JFF deserves to be up there. Seems like Woodson kinda changed the game a bit
 
If I see one more trolling/off topic post in this thread, the next poor sonofabitch is getting a 24-hour ban.

You caught me in the middle of 900 things at the office, boys, and ol' Scarf AIN'T FUCKING AROUND.

DARE ME, MOTHERFUCKERS.
