I haven't found the 1989 stats but I can almost guarantee you they outgained in that game because "return yards" don't count and we had no incentive to risk gaining large amounts of "real yards."

We haven't beaten these guys in decades....

They narrowly outgained us in 2004 as well.

it is rather surprising how often the team with the most yardage loses this game.
I bet correlation between yds & winning is stronger thru 3Q

It seems as though in a blowout towards the end of the game the balance usually tilts toward the losing team - gaining 150 yards in the 4th Q against a prevent, while the winning team grinds out 50-60 while running out the clock.
