Mississippi State and Tennessee Statistically Similar

Kyle Veazey posted this on his blog a little while ago and I thought it was pretty interesting. So far this season, the Bulldogs and the Vols are very similar, statistically speaking that is. Here are the numbers he came up with:

  • Points per game: Tennessee 17.3, Mississippi State 16.3
  • Offensive yards per game: Mississippi State 300.7, Tennessee 299.5
  • Rushing yards per game: Tennessee 122.2, Mississippi State 121.5
  • Passing yards per game: Mississippi State 179.2, Tennessee 177.3
  • Third down conversions: Mississippi State 36 percent, Tennessee 33 percent
  • Touchdowns scored: Tennessee 13, Mississippi State 12

Interesting indeed. Mississippi State may have more of a chance this to beat Tennessee this year than any other time they have played.
