they looked improved but we can't know for sure until we play teams that aren't among the bottom 1/4 of FBS

I was extremely impressed with the O-line. Hill was hardly touched

I think the point still is that most of the plays, there was 7 or 8 people

Confirms that they didn't bring pressure. I expect differently from Texas.

You're missing a pair of parentheses in your formula

You are correct. Thanks. I should have been

Agreed. Thought our line played great.

Which myth was exposed? Over 1/3 of all pass plays they dropped 8.

CBers have been acting like UCONN dropped 8 on almost every play.

I guess I haven't been paying enough attention to the discussion then.

7 is base. It's playing straight up.

I know dropping 7 is base. 5 OL should be expected to block 4 pass rushers, no?

Metallicat

If it were as simple as that, there wouldn't be many sacks.

You are caricaturing the "discussion" based on semantics.

Words have meaning.

And yet, on over 75% of plays they didn't bring an extra man at all.

Interesting... TH scrambled on only 1/6 5+ man rushes.

I think that, for most, "drop 8" is a euphemism for "didn't bring pressure".

Do you just look both ways or do you have one of these cameras when you back up

Lol. Haven't heard that one before.

I think that's the point - it's hyperbole.

Pressure is great if you can keep containment.

I have been wondering about this all weekend - nice post

Since these are only first half stats, I'm curious to see what the second half
