Need some stickum.
FSU just ran a play out of the flexbone formation. Is this a thing they've done this season?
Not ignoring this comment. Still looking for a stat site that lists average distance per down.
It's a measure of how many "potential points" the offense scored based on their number of red zone trips. A red zone efficiency of 1.000 would mean a team scored a touchdown on every trip to the red zone. The formula is:
[RZTDs + (RZFGs x 3/7)]/RZ attempts
By assigning FGs a fixed value of 3/7 of a touchdown, I don't have to worry about missed PATs, two point conversions and other rarities. A touchdown is a touchdown, regardless of what happens on the try after, and a field goal is weighted to its practical proportional value vs a touchdown.
Everything on the charts is running averages through that week, vs the running averages through the same number of games last season. Variance in the schedules means there's isn't a perfect comparison last year to this, but that effect diminishes with additional games. Our OOC games were also very similar last year to this. OSU and ECU both years, swapping William & Mary/Western Michigan for Furman/Purdue.
I include both tailbacks and fullbacks in that stat. Basically if Shane coaches them, they're lumped into YPC-RB.
I think he was well aware she was bullshitting him, and she knew that he knew. Totally something I'd do with a buddy.
No problem. I'll try to have it posted within the next 24 hours.
Here's a hint, though: it was all downhill from here last season.
Line of the night:
Morgan: Michonne?
Michonne: Yeah?
Morgan: When you were at my place, did you take one of my protein bars?
I think it's gotta be the Wolves. I think they were the ones who set up the Quarry of the Living Dead in the first place.
Also, with the show being set in Alexandria, while I was watching the premiere I thought it would be awesome if that was the Hokie Stone Quarry, though I know that would stretch the hell out of the suspension of disbelief.
I feel confident after watching the first half of this season that any offensive struggles we have are not schematic in nature. These players obviously get the big picture now and understand the roles they play in the offense. Now it's an issue of, can the individual positions actually do what they are being called upon to do in the scheme? Internalizing the scheme is the first major step, but if the scheme is innately too complex, you'll see a sputtering offense, one that looks great for stretches and then looks inept for stretches. And so far that's kind of what we've seen.
We're about to hit the meat of our schedule, and we'll know a lot more about what Lefty is actually capable of as an established OC come early November.
Remind me to never play Cards Against Humanity with TKPers...
Which makes the stability of our third down conversion rate thus far all the more interesting.
Godspeed, brother.
Hall of fame post right here.
And that's with our dual threat QB.
If we get Brewer back this season and he's anything close to 100%, I think Isaiah breaks 1,000 yards.
Ditto for key lime.
Yes, if our TOP is 60 minutes, I predict we win.
You mean post the chart for all of 2014 week by week?
Dunno. Seems like an extensive amount of hand-wringing here. We were going at what I'd call an acceptable level by week 2. The learning curve for Mot was amazingly quick, IMO. In fact, our worst offensive outing came AFTER Motley had gotten a month of first team reps. I have no complaints about backup QB play this season. I think Motley has done some fantastic work.
Ole Miss
aTm
Sparty
LSU
Penn State
Utah
We are about ready to hit that point in the season when the 2014 offense dropped like a rock.

You da man. I heart normalized stats.
Ibises (sp?) use their beaks to clear impacted fecal matter from the anuses of other ibises.
This isn't just something I made up for Hatin' On. That's the honest to God truth.
And Miami chose that to be their mascot on the sidelines.
Point taken. However, Pitt was a much larger outlier than Purdue was. The 583 yards against Purdue represents 1.24 standard deviations from our average performance, while the 100 yards against Pitt was 1.69 standard deviations. They don't even cancel each other out.
Dust it off and regroup.
