24 – NCAA record for penalties. OSU had 15 last night but it felt like 25.
440 – passing yards by Lunt, the most ever by a true freshman (by a LOT) and the 3rd most in school history behind Weeden’s 502 (K-State 2011) and 476 (Iowa State 2011). Also the Big 12 freshman passing record for a single game.
167 – penalty yards by OSU, breaking a 42-year-old school record (seriously).
1,000 – number of passes dropped by Blake Jackson and Isaiah Anderson.
60 – passing attempts by Lunt, tying a school record (Weeden against A&M in 2011).
4 – TD by Tracy Moore, more than Justin Blackmon ever had in a single game. It also equaled the most Moore has ever had in an entire season.
21 – number of points OSU lost by last night (worst loss since November 28, 2009 – OU).
22 – number of combined points OSU lost by from the beginning of 2010 until last night.
1 – number of solo tackles Wes Lunt had.
0 – number of solo tackles Cooper Bassett had.
636 – the last time OSU scored at least 636 yards and lost was…never. They were previously 11-0.
45 – Calvin Barnett penalty yards.
27 – Arizona penalty yards.
59 – the most points OSU has given up on defense since Bedlam 2008.
0 – the number of turnovers OSU forced last night, last time that happened? 2010 against Kansas.
.5 – forced turnovers per game by OSU against Arizona since beginning of 2011.
3.75 – forced turnovers per game by OSU against teams that aren’t Arizona since beginning of 2011.
-4 – last time OSU had a -4 turnover margin was Halloween 2009 when Texas rolled 41-141.
61 – it’s pretty crazy that OSU is averaging 61 a game and only 1-1.
- I forgot we had seven turnovers in the 2010 Cotton Bowl against Ole Miss. SEVEN! ↩
Ugh. I didn’t get to watch last night, other than by twitter and I find it really hard to follow a game that way. How am I supposed to yell a the stupid refs for their crappy calls? How am I supposed to cheer when there’s an awesome play or scream at a broken one? From what I hear, it’s probably better that I didn’t get to watch. Congrats to Lunt for rocking the stats. Too bad everyone else was unable to do the same. We know it’s a rebuilding year and there will be bumps, it just sucks the first one came so early in the season. Still love my Cowboys, still bleeding orange, but today it’s a little more painful than normal.
Watching last night, the way we folded over, made me feel like it was 2009 and we were playing OU. Bad feelings all around.
The ad for Arizona football on the right of this page is pretty much a low blow.
I think the craziest thing about all of these stats is that without the drops, Lunt very well could have had the MOST passing yards in school history. Jackson, Anderson & Stewart combined for at LEAST 62 yards of dropped balls (not to mention an INT). This Lunt kid has a pretty bright future.
From my vantage point – watching the feed on my PC, it seemed that Lunt threw maybe five passes that were off target/ overthrown, and the ill advised throw for the pick six. Otherwise, something like 54 passes hit the receivers in the hands. I am more impressed by this guy every day.
