Strangely enough, USA has under reported attendance for many a game. I'm pretty sure this past season we reported only scanned tickets due to NCAA's watchful eye on our attendance (due to them not recognizing Ladd Stadium's counting method, although accurate). To make matters worse, the ticket scanners broke during our first game last season, and we weren't able to count students. The count was off by several thousand for that game. I wouldn't expect this to always be the case with USA, but it is what it is.
