The OSU-TCU nerd box score is insane

I wasn’t emotionally prepared for this. Not after the Seales/Offray arrests, not after listening to Gundy’s weekly presser, not after listening to Travis Ford talk about how this is the best defensive team he’s ever had (!)

This is the most NSFW nerd box score we’ve seen all year — maybe of the entire Gundy Era (although I bet that 2009 Bedlam one is a gem).

A few thoughts:

• OSU would have needed 31 drives to keep its 20-point scoring streak alive based on scoring 0.64 points per drive. The Mike Yurcich Era, ladies and gentlemen!

• That “own 25” average starting spot for OSU is as bad as I’ve ever seen since I started doing these.

• The scariest part about all of this is that TCU actually wasted more points than OSU did in the red zone.

• I’m not sure why I didn’t realize this but OSU didn’t make it past its own 48 for the last 32 minutes of the game.

• 179 percent offensive efficiency is this:

You hired someone from Shippensburg instead of me. Sure, I'll go for it on 4th down up 33 in the 4th. pic.twitter.com/HzK1aEnFGL
