8? it would have to be in garbage time for GaSt.

no way we give up a two point conversion.

So four safeties? two FG's and a safety?

I think these are usually math models that aren't intended to reflect realistic scores.

The 2.56 TD's and 19.9 carries was my first clue

Does Trace only do half a baseball swing for a .56 TD? Or is that like a Magic Johnson assist? He hands the ball off to Barkley and Barkley hands it to a receiver on a double reverse and the receiver scores so McSorley gets credit for .56 of a TD.

They would if John Urschel were on the case.

He always does a half swing, as he never follows through with his swing. A baseball coach wouldn't be happy.

Can't see Georgia State scoring much at all unless they get a gift (e.g., pick six, blocked punt, PSU fumble, etc.) The mismatch at the LOS is gonna be immediately apparent.

I believe his .56 TD celebration is a bunt.
