[QUOTE="4shotB, post: 447364, member: 844"] Ok, I'll accept the challenge...I said points per possession but will trot out some data for points per play (PPP) as I came across that quicker. Last year, GT ranked #85 in the country on D yielding .423 PPP (.355 @ home, .481 @ away). The prior year, in which we won 9 games our PPP was at .360, which would have been good for 50th nationally last year. So here is my goal. It's aggressive but I would like to see us hit a .310 PPP goal. For a frame of reference, App State was #31 last year at .311. Duke was #36 nationally at .319. I may be naive, but I still like to think GT has better athletes than Duke and can therefore, given the right coaching, can outperform Duke. My hypothesis will be put to the test this year. But for those who want quantitative goals, there you have it. The engineer in me says that if we hit this target, all other goals both qualitative and quantitative will be inconsequential. meaning I don't care how good we look getting off the bus or how perfect our tackles are form wise or how many points we give up in the last minute of each half.
