A-State in P5 road games...
Stolen from bojo1324 @ astatenation board...
Quote:I'm specifically talking P5 on the road, because that's the type of game we have this year with Nebraska.
Actually, at Indiana in 2010. Lost 36-34. Year before the Iowa game.
Since 2005, 1-21 in road P5 games.
From 2005 to 2010, 1-11. Avg score: 32.8-15.2
Since 2011, 0-10. Avg score: 41.8-15.6
Since we've gone on our spree of conference dominance, we've actually been worse against P5 on the road.
Closest game in the last six seasons, losing by 15 at Tennessee in a game that we never felt like we were in.
Wondering how far off from the normal this is for other Sun Belt teams?
The only qualifier I would add would be who we played during that stretch...
2005- @Mizzou, @Oklahoma State
(No excuses here, Troy took care of both around the same time)
