We put up some stats about their rushing game—and not only does BC’s QB rush for more yards than anyone else for BC, he also rushes for more than anyone on our team, too. The guy is a matchup nightmare. So, let’s look at receiving. I sorted by total yards, so that we wouldn’t focus too much on...

One of the worst things ESPN has done over the past decade (aside from what they’ve done to the conferences) is to put that guy’s articles behind a paywall. I think most football fans are better off having read that. I also wish Cal had a Sonny Dykes now. There’s too much conformity in FBS today.

When your SOS is 130, you can do anything as long as you’re good at it. Actually, that’s pretty much true for any SOS

G5 teams and B12 teams in the past decade, in conferences with wide open offenses, had defenses that seemed bent on takeaways. Try to keep the ball in front of you, try to pick the ball, try to give your offense another shot to score, and win 55-48. That’s a different kind of defense, but a...

If Miami hadn’t paired a boatload of yards to a handful of points, I never would have looked for it

I recently found a site that tracked yards per point. On the face of it, it looks like a silly stat. It’s not perfect, but it measures how much offensive effort is required to get points. If you have one yard per point, you’re getting into the end zone quickly (when you get in). If it’s 100...

Air Force is an outlier—efficient, high TOP, runs the 3O. They score, but they own the clock, too. They don’t put up Oregon or Southern Cal points, though, because of pace Rk Team Rec FBS OFEI 13 Air Force 6-0 5-0 .88

I’m glad people listened to the presser

He’s kinda “tied” for the starting QB job, but he seems like the “1a” option https://cornhuskerswire.usatoday.com/gallery/nebraska-football-matt-rhule-media-illinois-fighting-illini-starting-quarterback-jeff-sims-heinrich-haarberg/

I read it as “Dontae, Cooley, and Haynes are all good enough to start, and we’ll put in who is best for the moment”

Apparently, Tulane lost quite a few players, but not their QB. They lose him next season, though https://athlonsports.com/college-football/tulane-football-green-wave-prediction-preview-2023

It’s Tuesday. Maybe the line moves a lot before the weekend, and BC is favored. FWIW, Louisville was favored. They won, but did not cover. Did we do well? We beat SCST. Not an official line, but we did not score as much as expected Ole Miss won and covered We beat Wake (and covered, since...

The idea is that giving up 8 yards from your opponent’s 20 means a lot less than giving up 8 yards from your 8 (or even your 30). Points matter a lot more, but having the other team march down to your side of the field can wear you out. Ole Miss might be an example of where we bent until we...

For “available yards”, we have games like Ole Miss, Bowling Green, and Louisville to dig out from. We even gave up too many yards to SCST (if they aren’t excluded from the stats). That stat will be horrible all year, even if we’re above average for the rest of the season. Miami and Wake might...

I thought Louisville would get by Pitt ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Week 8 lines: GT -4.5 hosting BC Wake Forest -2 vs Pitt UNC -23.5 vs UVA FSU -14 vs Duke Clemson -3.5 at Miami Clemson Miami could go so many ways.

It turns out, there’s a stat for yards per point. Of course. 250/23 - 10.8, which doesn’t even get us into the top 5. I guess Penn State just starts on the opponent 20 and gets TDs.
