He didn't say NC the person is a waste. He's interpreting the data as any reasonable person would do and seeing that an avg of 1 yard/carry isn't a great strategy.

BYU has been most successful running on 2nd down, averaging 5.2 ypc. 60 carries for 364yds (6.1) on non-sack plays. http://t.co/Fx4LhvKwg3

17 carries for 20 yards. I try not to be an Anae hater, but that's preposterous

Wouldn't be Cougarboard if we didn't make every effort to eat our own, even if

Huh? I like NC a lot. I think we should keep using him. But running him between

Stats of on the field performance are conjuring something out of the blue?

no, it's better to be a blind fan, right?

And finally, on 3rd down, BYU is averaging 2.8ypc with 11 runs of 0 or fewer yards. They've made 10 1st downs on 3rd. http://t.co/em5DH5i1ev

Tanner is currently on pace for (assume bowl): 12 starts, 434 ATT, 263 CMP, 2818 YD, 16 TD (&13 INT) #byufootball https://t.co/bo72T4h2i8

No he isn't

well yes he is.

Mr Bassman

10/6/15 3:56pm

Total game average doesn't apply when he only played 1 qtr against Nebraska

CoopDizz

10/6/15 6:26pm

Technically, it does.

Mr Bassman

10/6/15 11:55pm

Technically, he has only played in 4.25 games, not 5

statistical Neanderthal? precious.

Mr Bassman

10/7/15 11:36am

I'm glad you caught the humorous intent; I was worried that I went too far

Should Tanner only be credited with 1/2 a game when we play Wagner?

Mr Bassman

10/7/15 11:41am

Incidentally, I think Tanner will play well into the second half vs. Wagner

CoopDizz

10/7/15 7:03pm

As a statistician, I do not believe that is correct.

Of course it isn't; that Nebraska game is an outlier and shouldn't be included

CoopDizz

10/7/15 2:17pm

you know he told you you were wrong. right?

Mr Bassman

10/7/15 4:17pm

He told me my fake extreme prediction based on the per game method was incorrect

CoopDizz

10/7/15 5:11pm

What % of time are we running on 1st down, any idea?

BYUfan92

10/6/15 3:44pm

47.4%

Mr Bassman

10/6/15 3:50pm

BYU has "run" the ball. A "statsMAN" should know that accuracy matters.

A thumbs down for a little silliness? And I even made fun of myself!

Steelhammer

I was joking before about people using a macro to automatically give thumbs down

Steelhammer

10/7/15 9:17am

Nah, people just think your post was stupid.

chago04

10/7/15 9:19am

If people start giving a thumbs down for that, they'll be giving them all day...

You've uncovered a couple of nice outliers. Hopefully the coaches see it
