BYU ran 68.4% of the time on 1st down inside their own 25. The NCAA overall ran 71.2% in that same situation, so BYU ran 2.8% less often than the NCAA as a whole.

Anae: "Pass on every 1st down, run on every 2nd down..."

BYU had the 9th lowest avg yards to go on 3rd down

I'm curious. I have a perception that Anae gets conservative on 1st down

Can you do a comparison between these stats and offensive stats by down

Math... Yuck.

Analytics, actually. Hope that makes you feel better. :-)

I'd be interested to see those percentages from the past two seasons under Doman

If Greenrake was the OC, it would go something like this...

Isn't the punt formation primarily used on defense?

Anae's ratio is more balanced and less predictable in 1st and 2nd down than NCAA

Very interesting post. Thanks for putting it together and posting it.

I'd be curious what those numbers are for those that finished in the Top 25

There is no such thing as an "ideal" pass-run ratio

what we are failing to see here is that anae was passing on first

Incomplete Analysis: Distance is as important a factor as Down

The analysis was framed in the manner the original claim was presented

I don't know how some of you have the time to compile all these stats...

Great information Indy. Thanks. No idea how you have the time to do this kind

Are you sure what he meant was opponents know what Anae was going to call and

ChinoCoug

2/12/13 11:45am

I can't divine some hidden inner meaning, so I take his comments at face value

Indy Coug

2/12/13 11:51am

i hope we do pass on first down 40% of the time

I was never once frustrated by Anae.
