That's a good point; he might not know how the kid played.
Still, he adjusts so well, he must he know a lot of what's happening out there.
This ^. Thank you. But the question: what the hell can or will be done about it? I presume nothing.
Yup, exactly. So right now since we're at 85.7% red zone td% and also red zone scoring percentage, our red zone efficiency is 85.7%.
But let's say RZTD% was 75% and RZS% was 85%. You can tell at a glance in the red zone we scored TDs 75% of the time, FGs 10% of the time, and came away empty 15% of the time. If you weight a field goal as 3/7 of a touchdown you get:
.75+[.1x(3/7)]=0.792
I really like the concept of red zone efficiency. I'm giving the data needed for it, but not actually calculating it. I probably could cut out the middle man with a simple formula in Excel, since I'm already tracking red zone TDs and scoring. Let me tinker. Then that's only one stat to present instead of two. I'm up to ten tracked stats so far, so anything I can do to streamline is a net plus IMO.
Also, the statistics nerd in me has to point out that you'd want to calculate this stat by valuing field goals at 3/7 of a touchdown rather than scored points/potential points, otherwise you risk missed PATs skewing the data. That's a special teams issue rather than an offense issue, so for our purposes you just treat the PAT as a given.
I was focused on the 2nd defensive line group of Mihota-Williams/Sobczak-Baron-Dooley (that played really well.
Man, I was so impressed with the 2nd line. Wow. I said it before and I'm saying it again, for as good as this line is (dadi - maddy - marshall - ekanem) there is a straight up monster lurking just beneath in Mihota - Williams/Sobczak - Baron/Settle - Dooley/Hill. They have more size and what looks like sneaky, sneaky speed.
Cannot remember the last time we had a non-noon kick against ECU
Ready to see Lydon chill someone's shat. Also wouldn't mind seeing Tremaine.
More fans in Wahoo gear than......ahhh nevermind... ;)
It took me WAY too long to understand what the hell was going on here
That would be funnier if it didn't also resemble VT's Ohio State game...
I think red zone scoring percentage would be number of (rz field goals + rz tds)/rz trips. Correct me if I'm wrong. The metric I'm thinking of would be say if you were in the red zone 3 times you'd have the ability to come out with 21 points. If you scored 2 tds and a fg you would have 17/21 or 80.95% efficiency (or whatever you want to call it). To me that's the truest metric of how well your offense is doing in the red zone.
there seems to be at least one fan in wahoo gear celebrating in this picture....just sayin'
I bet one of them was a certain Colin Cowherd
Tim Settle at MLB
Should fill those gaps just fine

Jake didn't redshirt. He played as a true freshman in 1998, mostly as a backup fullback.

# | Virginia Tech Linebacker Andrew Motuapuaka Could Miss up to 4 Weeks Of course everyone here views things through O&M glasses, but doesn't mean they don't have a point. When fans of the opposing teams point out you're getting screwed there just might be something to it.
Overall, I lol'd at UVA for that; however, I was absolutely gutted for one of my best friends who's a die hard Hoo. Woulda been the best win in program history.
Unfortunately the offense has no say in its starting position, save whatever the "field position battle" of driving some yards before punting contributes. But mostly, starting position will be mostly determined by the defense.
That's one reason I'm tracking both RZTD% and RZS%. Like right now, both stats are 85.7% because we've missed our only red zone FG try. By taking both stats together, you'll see at a glance how often we scored, how often those scores were settling for a field goal (by comparing scoring to TD%) and how often we came away with nothing.
To clear it up, red zone scoring percentage is what you're talking about, scoring ANY points in the red zone, whether field goals or TDs.
And that will indeed be compared to the equivalent point last season.
That doesn't mean the refs were against us when we were playing Furman. Every fan believes their team gets cheap calls from refs, that's football.
Man, I love the hard-hitting journalism around here.
I'll see myself out.
How about average starting field position? This can be a significant factor in offensive scoring and I have a feeling we will be better in that department this season
