This is the only thing I would push back on. It's a bit unfair to say we only forced a punt in 3 of 12 when 4 more of the drives had turnovers (one of which was in a drive with 0 yards). I think it is fair criticism to say we have given up too many yards (I have made similar claims in the stats...
This is definitely an issue (especially in our losses). Looking at only non-garbage time drives this is our plays per drive:
UL: 5.4
MS: 8.5
WF: 4.8
BG: 4.8
UM: 4.4
BC: 5.2
In 2022 the average plays per drive across all NCAA was 5.5.
Our current "first down rate" (percentage of drives gaining...
I think you bring up good points, but my only concern is around everyone's word choice. So I think anyone using "incorrect" might not be precise enough. What I would be interested in is "are talent composite ratings a predictive measurement for a team's season." I think this is where people...
BCFToys front page has a chart showing the average drive data since 2007. This has existed for a while, but I usually just skip past it on my way to looking for specific data.
I looked a little closer today and saw some interesting things:
So the first is that PPD was just overall lower than I...
I already said that I understand the argument that he was used enough and his yards were sufficient. I am not saying King had a bad day running. I think it was great. I stand by *my personal opinion* that with different play calling he would have had more. He was also clearly gassed near the end...
Almost half those yards and the TD came on one play. I think it could have been much worse. If someone wants to say the offense used him enough, that's fine. I personally think BC was not prepared to handle his legs and we left more on the table.
I don't know if it's King who doesn't *really* want to be a runner, or that Faulkner doesn't call the plays for him to be, but it seemed like we could have call read option all game against BC. They didn't account for him as a runner at any point during the game. We didn't make them pay much in...
It for sure happened when we lost to MTSU.
I’ve mentioned multiple times I felt like we were somehow tipping when we ran zone blitz, maybe the sign was just really easy to steal.
I have been thinking about this. We don't have many CGC *recruits* who are true difference makers for our team.
LaMiles Brooks comes to mind. Kyle Kennard this year. Malik Rutherford. Zeek Biggers.
Almost all of the other recruited playmakers we had either transferred away, are transfers...
They also have the biggest impact on the game, touching the ball every play. The rhythm of hiking the ball, hand offs to RB, WR relationships, are all things that aren't direct carry overs, and just trotting out a new qb every drive could have a bigger impact than expected (especially for an...
“Honestly, maybe we need to lose a few games & lighten up the bandwagon. Sometimes the bandwagon can get a little too full” Might be one of the worst things a coach could say in college football in 2023. It's probably a wrong opinion, but I have never thought Dabo was a good coach; just...
I've come to believe that outside of the top 10 teams, talent composite has a ton of variance. Honestly, it would be better if talent composite differentiated by position group. Having 4 of the best WR on your team won't matter much if you don't have an OLine that can protect an average QB...
I’m pretty sure JMU would have won the Sun belt every year if not for NCAA rules limiting their post season play. They’ve been good since their jump to FBS.
You are spot on with duke scheduling. We’d have been bowing with Collins last year with their schedule.
