I can't take much into account from comparing Ohio to a team that played Michigan State, Ohio State and Georgia Southern. That stats are inherently going to be skewed. At the end of the year if these stats are the same, then this might matter.
Without getting into comparing stats, we can still learn a few things from the stats. Here are a few things I notice:
1. First, WMU has a very efficient and productive passing attack. Given the difficult competition this is especially a warning sign.
2. Second is that they have a preference to passing over running. They have run it 173 times and have passed it 174 times. If you factor in that some of the runs were sacks and/or situations where the QB took off, they have probably been calling about 55-60% passes.
3. They don't seem to have a great placekicking squad. They are only 5-9 on FG, and have missed 2 extra points as well. They do have a good punter, though.
4. They have been vulnerable to rushing, giving up 5.9 yards/carry. Much of that was given up to Georgia Southern, but they gave up a fair number of rushing yards to most everyone except Murray State. Can Ohio run the ball on them? I guess we'll find out.
