A few years back, North Texas lost every game they played, but they out gained their opponents by 150 to 200 yards. They were very high in total offense, but very low in scoring offense. Could move it, but couldn't punch it in.

The only stat that counts is the W/L column. Troy has out gained its SBC opponents the last two years with the exception of two or three games. Troy lost a lot more SBC games than just two or three and I would never say we were the best team in the SBC because of stats.

I'll say it again, USA had several chances to seal the deal, gift wrapped with a bow tie from Troy and USA couldn't cash in. If they were the better team, the Troy fumble in the red zone and the two gift wrapped TDs would have been enough. Yet despite all of that, Troy still won the game.
