BYU and Boise State by the Numbers

Great post. Do these rankings account for strength of schedule at all?

They do. They're S&P+ rankings. Adjusted for opponent and context.

Thanks.

Have you looked at these numbers retrospectively for previous opponents?

Awesome. Thanks... I'm not optimistic about our chances tomorrow now.

So, you're saying we have a chance.....?

Can you explain offensive and defensive "Field Position" to me? Is this how far

Revolution

It's based on where drives start.

Please explain the BSU offense being likely to turn over the ball.

It's turnover margin. Based on opponent, BYU is expected to be at +1.75, but

Random Walk

That makes sense. BSU's defense has not generated a lot of turnovers this year.

I was going to mention field position, but it doesn't really matter since

Their rush defense has been suspect the last two games. See my post from

Raw yardage is a very noisy measure. You need context.

I watched a lot of the CSU game and saw the CSU line opening up big holes. Yes

10/19/16 8:48am

I didn't see the CSU game, so that is encouraging. If BYU can get SOMETHING on

Random Walk

I agree. The gameplan needs to be long sustained drives using the run taking

Havoc is a fun measurable...

To win we'll have to grind out a ground game to keep the ball away from BSU

BSU is not going to be as tough as we all think. People are acting like they

It will be a close game

I think it's going to be right on par with UCLA, WVU, and Miss. State.

We have good linebackers, but the DL has been underwhelming.

Random Walk

Interesting to get a BSU fan's perspective. It should be a good game tomorrow.

Well we don't get pressure on anyone so Rypien will not have any laundry to do.

One other Varible, BSU has a lot more to play for. BYU is playing for pride, BSU

Random Walk, you are my kind of analyst. Huge thumbs up!

This is amazing analysis. I'd love it if this report came weekly

"On passing downs, BYU's defense is terrible (#100)"

Boise St running the ball...it could get ugly

icecougar

10/19/16 6:55pm

You're right it could. Boise has given up 566 yards rushing last two weeks. BYU could make it ugly by running.
