Between the Numbers: TOP
USF has been making the most of meager possession time all season long. The Cougars average 32.8 points per game--sixth in the NSIC--and sit third in the league in total offense, at 479.9 yards per contest. They have already set a new record for offensive plays in a game while their five wins have been by an average of 23 points, but the Cougars have been on offense for 26:08 per game--USF's offensive players spend less time on the gridiron than any other team in the NSIC. The Cougars have only won the TOP battle three times this season (and are 2-1 in those games); SMSU (31:52-28:08), Augustana College (31:05-28:55) and Upper Iowa by the slimmest of margins (30:02-29:58). Minnesota-Duluth owned the clock in the season-opener for both teams (39:17-20:43) and opponents overall have amassed a TOP advantage of more than seven minutes (33:52-26:08).

USF is 1-0 in August, 11-5 in September, 14-2 in October, 5-4 in November & 1-1 in December during Stugart's tenure.
