Semi-useless stats for you to ponder

First quarter
Ohio State 104, Opponents 13
TTUN 86, Opponents 23

2nd quarter
Ohio State 112, Opponents 30
TTUN 101, Opponents 43

3rd quarter
Ohio State 68, Opponents 10
TTUN 85, Opponents 23

4th quarter
Ohio State 110, Opponents 33
TTUN 51, Opponents 44

- Ohio State's best quarter is the first, and their worst is the third (and we've still only allowed two scores in the 3Q)
- TTUN's best quarter is the sedond, and their worst is the 4th, when they are nearly outscored.

- Ohio State has scored in 38 of their 44 quarters
- TTUN has scored in 36 of their 44 quarters

- Ohio State has shut out opponents in 29 quarters
- TTUN has shut out opponents in 22 quarters

- Ohio State has scored twice in a quarter 18 times
- TTUN has scored twice in a quarter 16 times

- Ohio State has allowed two scored in the same quarter twice
- TTUN has allowed two scores in the same quarter three times

- Ohio State has outscored their opponent in a quarter 35 times
- TTUN has outscored their opponent in a quarter 29 times

- Ohio State has been outscored in a quarter five times
- TTUN has been outscored in a quarter six times

Ohio State has the edge, but these are ALL so very close.

But does any of it matter when The Game starts?? Of course it doesn't. It's The Game. And if you haven't figured out that either team can win The Game on any given year no matter what, then you haven't watched enough OSU/TTUN games in your lifetime.
