from a national perspective.
When we play a well ranked team, we lose. Often badly. Oh sure we can win a few in a bad P12 (and holy hell is the P12 down this year!) but test yourself against a real team and you get blown out.
Since being named coach, Helton is 3-6 against G5 OOC opponents, with all 3 victories coming inside Los Angeles. He has never defeated an OOC opponent in a stadium located farther away than Pasadena. In those 9 games he has been outscored 217-326 for an average score of 24 to 36, which is to say we are averaging a double digit loss in G5 OOC games. We have never held a G5 OOC opponent to fewer than 23 points under Helton.
