Fun new stats (GT WR I)

[AE 87]

So, I saw a TD/pass stat in an article on Golson transferring and wondered how GT did in this category.

It ends up we're #2 in the country at 9.36% of passes ended up as TDs.

However, if you only count catches, we're #1, 17.92% of our completed passes last year were TDs. That's crazy.

As with everything: Quality not quantity.

Our offense obviously had a lot of crazy good stats this year, but that may be the craziest.

That's impressive. Nearly 1 in 5 catches goes house. Why would any receiver NOT want to play for us?

Probably because they want 15+ passes thrown to them per game like they enjoyed in high school. If their focus in on personal stats, they must be our top receiver and even then they won't see the ball as much as in another offense.

Because he'd rather play in front of 500 people at a basketball school for a coach with a losing record who has put exactly one WR in the NFL since as far back as anyone can remember?

Is there a site you pulled this from or did you extrapolate yourself?

Did the calculations myself from cfbstats.com team data.

Good work. I will probably quote you in future conversations with people.

Well, what went wrong with the other 82%? But seriously, that is crazy. But it reflects in pretty stark terms Johnson's "make 'em pay" passing philosophy.

I can't even imagine the rush that one gets catching a TD pass before a packed house at Grant Field. Been pretending that was me ever since I was in grade school.

I'm posting this video here since it is about one of our former receivers. Waller gives GT & CPJ some great PR.
