So if you insist on using his true per game average, rather than rounding like a statistical Neanderthal, then the projection should be about 3,316 yards.

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

No need to take offense when none was intended

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

CoopDizz

10/6/15 3:54pm

well yes he is.

Mr Bassman

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

CoopDizz

10/6/15 6:26pm

Technically, it does.

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
