FEI Off/Def/SpT Rankings 2018

How many more receiving yards would Calvin have gotten if he had been paired with an elite QB? And think about how many more wins we would have had.

No use that same logic and apply it to the 3-O. Elite or near elite QBs make that scheme run at elite levels. Why is it so hard for people to apply the same logic and reasoning to different but similar concepts?

Or if Reggie could have just seen over the line of scrimmage. I have no idea how he even saw the receivers.
(Sorry, back to FEI).

I found an API to return data going back to 2001.
https://collegefootballdata.com/api/docs/?url=/api-docs.json#/

Looks pretty interesting. Here is an example call for every GT drive in 2001. https://api.collegefootballdata.com/drives?year=2001&offense=Georgia Tech
I really wish it went back further!

The data comes from ESPN, and sadly it appears like there are some issues when going back for older games.

Here is GT vs UGA (I picked it because the API showed us as having 21 drives) http://www.espn.com/college-football/playbyplay?gameId=213280059
It looks like ESPN is accidentally marking kickoffs as separate drives from some reason. I haven't gone through and looked to see how accurate other seasons are.

Just thought I'd share the link for anyone interested, and didn't want to create a new thread.
