A few random notes

[emmitt01]

- We are bowl eligible for a third consecutive  year, which has only occurred once before.  The other time?  Dickey’s run of 4 straight.  

- Nate Brooks is tied for the national lead among FBS players in interceptions (4)

- Rico Bussey is tied for third nationally in receiving TD’s (8)

- E.J. Ejiya had 6.5 sacks, which puts his at #13 nationally.  The guy at #1 has 8.5

- Cole Hedlund is #5 nationally in field goals made with 13

- We are #6 nationally in passing yards with 2,283 and #9 in total offensive yards with 3,355 (also #9 in total points with 279)

- We are giving up an average of 17.6 points a game (We gave up 35 points a game last season).  So that’s roughly HALF of last season’s average...granted, last year included the two FAU debacles 

- Yesterday our defense forced 2 turnovers, and had 4 sacks (while giving up ZERO second half points).  

 

This is a special time in Mean Green land.  Regardless of how things go at UAB (I think we win), you are robbing yourself of some rare memories if you aren’t in the house for Homecoming and the rest of this season

Indeed it is...and indeed you are!  Be there Mean Green people.

I thought we were bowl eligible for the second year... since the context is in regards to wins and losses.

Good post Emmitt.  

While reading that all I could think of was the 4 year span 2007-2010 in which we only witnessed 3 home wins......total.

Apples to apples, I guess - in 2001, we were 5-6, but declared eligible since we were the conference champ.  In 2016, we were declared eligible due to our academic record.

That was ruled a fumble recovery.  Anyway, this is what ESPN shows for the INT leaders...

NT went to the Belt affiliated Bowl because they were conference champion. The conference changed the rules after that year to allow them to select the team and keep teams with non-winning records out.  

In 2016, they did not have enough six win teams to fill all the bowl slots.   NT was selected among many other 5 win teams based on the tie breaker, APR scores.
