Sacramento Republic vs Orange County Blues By The Numbers

Being able to have some sort of naive optimism about Sacramento Republic's season is slowly becoming harder with a third straight 0-1 loss, but we still have to take a dive into the offensive futility and lineup chaos that has been the Republic's season so far.

18 - Times since 2011 that a USL team has lost three consecutive shutout games. The Republic made it 19 last weekend.

0 - Times before the Republic's current run that a USL team had suffered three consecutive 0-1 losses.

0 - Times that the Republic had lost three consecutive games prior to last weekend.

14 - Individual USL players who have outscored the Republic as a team this season.

1 - More goals from open play that Nemanja Vukovic has scored for Indy Eleven this season than the Republic has as a team.

3 - Most goals scored in the 2015 season in USL play by any Republic player that returned for 2016 (Guzman and Stewart).

20 - Different players who have started a game for the Republic this season.

6 - Different players who have started all six games for the Republic this season (Foran, Barrera, Christian, Koval, Klimenta, Jakubek)

4 - Different striker combinations the Republic have used this season (Stewart/Jahn, Stewart/Sherrod, Stewart/Iwasa, Williams/Pridham).

11 - The difference between the Republic's shots on goal taken and shots on goal allowed this season.

1 - Yellow cards picked up by Ivan Mirkovic at Bonney Field this season.

366 - Minutes since the Republic has scored a goal.

I got to thinking how long 366 minutes is (6 hours and 6 minutes) and what else can happen in that time. Here are some things that you can do in 366 minutes other than watch the Republic fail to score.

• Fly from Sacramento to Los Angeles, watch the Republic's face off against Los Dos, and fly back.
• Watch all but the final 10 minutes from the original Star Wars trilogy. Roll credits.
• Watch all but the final 3 minutes from the three fastest men's marathons ever.
• Walk 72.7% of a marathon.
• Drive to San Jose from Sacramento, watch an Earthquakes game, and drive back.
• Watch season 1 of The Walking Dead
