Thanks again. I had to look up why Field Position is an offensive stat, but it made sense after I read the explanation that the offensive stat is actually the defensive starting field position. I think what hurt us there is 1. interceptions, and 2. below-average special team play. The latter is not the responsibility of the offense, but Connelly says it is a factor in the SFP.It values different things. Here’s what SP+ cares about (from Footballstudyhall.com)
FIVE FACTORS
Explosiveness
Current Ways to Measure:
* Yards per play
* PPP
* PPP+
Efficiency
Current Ways to Measure:
* Success Rate
* Third-down conversions
Field Position
Current Ways to Measure:
* Average starting field position
* FPA
Finishing Drives
Current Ways to Measure:
* Points per Trip inside the 40
* Red zone scoring
* Red zone S&P+
Turnovers
Current Ways to Measure:
* Turnover margin
* Adj. Turnover margin
* Turnovers luck
For Turnovers, Finishing Drives, and Efficiency, we weren’t great.
Success Rate, we’re #49.
Field position, we’re #72
Touchdown rate, we’re #44
Turnover rate, we’re #103
It was strange Saturday to hear about our powerful rushing attack. When we started the season, this board was convinced we couldn’t run
Gameonpaper indicated that uga had a 7-yard advantage in field position Saturday, despite us not throwing any interceptions and recovering a fumble at the uga 37. Our special teams, particularly on kickoffs, really hurt us there.
