We hardly, if ever, play a true road game against an OOC Power 5. Not many teams do. We've beaten plenty of OOC Power 5 teams since 2012 that aren't "true road games". This is a dumb stat looking for a problem.
A lot of teams play true away OOC P5 games.
South Carolina won at Clemson last year.
Florida won at Florida State last year.
Alabama won at Wisconsin last year and at sip in 2023.
LSU won at sip a few years back, 2021 or 2019 maybe.
Arkansas won at BYU two years ago.
Auburn won at Cal two years ago.
Ole Miss won at Wake last year, at a ranked Tulane the year before, and a at Georgia Tech the year before that:
Tennessee won at a ranked Pitt three years ago.
Sip won at Alabama two years ago.
OU won at Nebraska three years ago.
This is just with 10 minutes of research and only the most recent wins. These are all teams that we consider to be our peers or inferior to us, but they can at least say they've gone into a true OOC P5 road game and won at some point more recently than 1994.
Not the most meaningful stat out there, and some of these teams being P5 or not has been fluid, but just another data point that shows how poorly we've performed as a football program for the last 30 years.
Hopefully Elko can turn it around permanently.
