I've looked at this chart more times than I care to admit, and all I can think of is two things.
1) This is why this team is so infuriatingly talented - ultimate boom or bust production.
2) I think the Eagles have invented two-true-outcomes football. #trailblazers

The two main answers to how the #Eagles are managing to be 3rd in touchdowns/drive while dead last in avoiding 3 & outs is that they have been:

How a Butler teacher’s viral dunk over ESPN’s Tony Reali on Dan Le Batard Show came to be: ‘It was pretty wild’

Game 2 of this Pullman Park doubleheader started 45 minutes late. Karns City popped Keystone for 7 runs in the home half of the 2nd. The reporter is rooting for deadline right now.

Hanging out at Pullman Park for some WPIAL and then District 9 baseball.
Seneca Valley leads Butler 1-0 after 1. Tornado had a chance to tie it, but Remholz hung up Richter on a breaking ball.

Five weeks ago, Mary Kate Cornett was a first-year business major dating another Ole Miss student.
