[QUOTE="AE 87, post: 167506, member: 195"] No, especially if you have in mind some kind of starting field position indicator. I would have to go to another data source, like footballoutsiders, to get that, I think. For the data I'm using, I don't have any way to parse out yds in scoring drives from yds in drives that ended in punts or turnovers etc. So, I can get a yds/drive, but I'm not sure what it would tell me. Typically teams that score on more drives will have more yds/drive than teams that are being forced to punt. So, for example, in 2014, Oregon averaged 3.53 pts/drive and GT averaged 3.52 pts/drive (#1 and #2 respectively). However, GT averaged 48.33 yds/drive and Oregon averaged 44.72 (#1 and #2 respectively). Does the extra 3.5 yds/drive required of GT translate into an extra .01 ppd? I kind of like the beauty and simplicity of the raw stat right now. I'm also looking for possible correlation between ppd vs pwr5 and yds/play vs pwr5. Obviously, there doesn't have to be since slow and steady can win the race, but it's fun. [/QUOTE]
