Raw Stats

I wanted to lead with the advanced stats since they adjust for opponent/schedule. However, when we look at the raw stats it really shows the separation between the two teams.

2013 FSU Offense

FSU 51.7 PPG
FSU 52.23 percent 3rd down conversions
FSU 75 percent 4th down conversions
FSU red zone success 97.26 percent
FSU red zone touchdown percentage 79.45 percent
FSU 7.67 ypp
FG success 95.5 percent

2018 Clemson Offense

Clemson 44.3 ppg
Clemson 46.04 percent 3rd down conversions
Clemson 57.89 percent 4th down conversions
