2016 FB season quarter by quarter offensive comparison.

I went back and looked at last year's offensive stats by quarter and one thing jumped out in comparing offensive output in wins versus losses.

The games were all won or lost during the second and third quarters. In the games we won, the offense averaged 272 yards and 24 points, compared to 183 yds and 7.5 points in the losses.

Stats during the first quarters didn't differ by much (88.4 yards and 5.7 points in wins vs 94.25 yards and 6 points in losses). Fourth quarters were actually better in losses (140.5 yards/10.5 points) than in wins (96.7 yards/7.1 points).

The 2 worst offensive performances by quarter were both in 1st/4th quarters in wins.
The offense only gained 5 yards in the first quarter against Notre Dame and only 27 yards and 7 points in the 4th quarter against ECU, but the best 1st/4th quarter performances were 204 yards and 14 points in the first quarter loss to Tennessee and 203 yards and 13 points in the 4th quarter loss to Georgia Tech.
