*Dogwood Daily - S24 Ultimus - dogwoodmaple - 09-19-2020

Welcome to the third edition of Dogwood Daily, where we'll break down facts, stats, matchups, and other fun items of note.  This episode will cover the S24 Ultimus.
  • The ASFC has won 11 of the last 14 Ultimus titles.
  • This was the first Ultimus since S18 where both teams scored less than 20 points.
  • This was also the second-lowest scoring Ultimus of all time.
  • This was the second time in the last three years where the leading yardage team lost the Ultimus.  Both involved the Yeti.
  • San Jose never trailed in this game.
  • San Jose's 122 passing yards are the second-fewest in Ultimus history (BAL S2)
  • Matt Krause's pick-six was the longest in Ultimus history (62 yards) and the first since S16.
  • Rando Cardrissian's 1 yard TD catch was the first of its kind since S16.
  • Colorado's 4th quarter safety was the first in an Ultimus since S15.
  • This was the first Ultimus in history to feature both a pick six and a safety.
  • Only 10 of the 24 Ultimus have been decided by one score.
  • Jamar Lackson rushed for exactly 94 yards in both playoff games.
  • Monterey Jack is the first Ultimus-winning QB to throw zero interceptions since Franklin Armstrong (OCO) in S18.
  • The SaberCats are the first team to score the same amount of points in the semifinal and Ultimus.
  • Five of the last six Ultimus have featured one team with an even score and one team with an odd score.
  • Home teams won the first 15 of the first 16 Ultimus.  They're just 2-6 since.
  • Colorado is the first team to lose the Ultimus and score exactly half as many points as they did in the conference championship game.
  • The last two teams to play in their third Ultimus both won that game.  San Jose this year and Colorado two years ago.
  • In their last two Ultimus appearances, Colorado has led a combined 38 seconds (1-1 in those games).
  • This was the first time that the winning team never trailed in the Ultimus since S21.
  • Teams with a QB who threw 30+ TD in the regular season have not won the Ultimus since S15 (BAL QB Childish Gambino)
  • In the last six seasons, no Ultimus winning team has ever finished the regular season with a longer winning streak than two games.  
  • Those six streaks to end the regular season? W2, L2, W2, L4, L1, L3
  • In the last 17 years, a QB with a four letter last name has only won the Ultimus twice.
  • This is the third straight Ultimus win for a currently-not-living mascot (SaberCats, Wraiths, Yeti).
  • Congratulations to the SaberCats on the victory!
