While I'm gearing up on previews on the upcoming bowl game, I thought I'd do a quick statistical analysis of both Texas Tech and Virginia.
Things that jump out at me and in no particular order:
- Texas Tech is 119th in the nation in rushing
- Texas Tech is 17th in the nation in sacks allowed
- Virginia is 6th in the nation in sacks
- Virginia is 100th in the nation in total offense
Discuss and enjoy.
