Btw, if you want to feel better about the rest of our schedule:
One interesting thing about this exercise is that our defense is actually significantly better on the road, by over a yard per play. If you had our road defense and home offense you'd have a really formidable team (although when you break up stats like this you end up with weird effects, I bet we've just played better offenses at home, or had more garbage time or something.) Also kind of interesting, UW's is the only defense that isn't better on the road, while all offenses are worse on the road (though ours is by far the biggest gap at 1.8, the next largest is Cal at 0.8). Oh, and Rice is included as a road game here, so our gap is even worse than that.
| Team | O YPP | D YPP | Net YPP |
| Stanford (home) | 8.01 | 6.5 | 1.51 |
| UW (road) | 6.08 | 3.99 | 2.09 |
| Cal (road) | 4.58 | 5.59 | -1.01 |
| ND (road) | 6.43 | 4.84 | 1.59 |
