Here are some analytics:
615- The total number of yards ACU had against us tonight. This is the second most a team has put up against us in the McGuire era. OU put up 672 in ‘22.
384- The most passing yards Maverick McIvor had thrown in a college football game until he threw 506 tonight against his P4 FBS opponent.
51- The second most points a team has scored against us in the McGuire era. Only playoff bound UT scored more against us in ‘23.
24- since 2000, the most points an FCS opponent has scored on the future FBS national champion. In 2010, Auburn beat Chattanooga 62-24. Typically FBS champions beat their FCS opponents by 40-50 points in the year they won it all.
52- The second most points Tech’s offense has scored in a game under McGuire. We scored 62 against Murray State in ‘22. Also, an FCS opponent.
Fact check me on these numbers. The very obvious takeaway is that good teams don’t barely beat their FCS opponents.
