The Raw data gives the edge to Drew Willy, James Starks and the 2008 supporting cast. Namaan and Neutz are too similar. However you cannot declare any of these players dominated their counterparts.
Possible interpretation: The Baylor game and the blowouts against UConn, EMU and WMU have curbed the numbers of the UB 2013 stars.
Possible interpretation 2: The 2008 players are superior for putting up high statistical numbers against superior teams, (a combined 24-12) vs. the 2013 players putting up numbers against inferior teams, (a combined 14-20)
The data also shows that the 2013 UB defense is playing better than 2008, but their aggressiveness has led to more penalties.
Finally while allowing more yards and gaining less, UB in 2013 has been more efficient, scoring more and allowing less points.
