Good stats stop counting those plays/drives at end of blowout

That's why FEI and stats like that are better to use than just averages.

BYU opponents' YPP against BYU, and against everyone else...

Good job

Oregon took their foot off the gas against us. They were at 8.36 YPP ...

This is why we use averages.

Your understanding of statistics is . . . incomplete. At best.

Coop

I'm not the one cherry-picking data to make a predetermined point.

shoganai

9/30/22 2:45pm

Wrong. Both in terms of what I am doing and what you are doing wrong.

Coop

Works both ways though. USF, Wyoming, and USU picked up yards when BYU took

Blueto

For sure.

Coop

No. You are dead wrong in this case because you are cherry-picking one subset of

Just stop. You clearly don’t know what you are doing.

Coop

9/30/22 3:16pm

Interesting you would say that because you just agreed with my point when

shoganai

9/30/22 3:21pm

You didn't make that point at all. It is a valid point, and I would have ...

I'm sorry if you felt I was being uncivil at any point.

shoganai

They aren’t. They aren’t valid or relevant if they are misleading.

Again, if someone has the time and inclination to design and apply a balanced

The issue isn’t yards per possession. But long drives.

Weber State's D is other worldly

That is a very weird outlier.

The game was a freak accident. Bonner threw two of the dumbest picks I've seen

I have basically been saying our d is around average based on all the stats

Bronco had a few mediocre defenses of his own through the years.

shoganai

9/30/22 2:30pm

Problem is a mediocre defense is a good year for Tuiaki.

ManicBlue

9/30/22 2:32pm

Agreed! we're about average. Question is if we're seeing upward trajectory

runnincoug

9/30/22 2:33pm

IMO, we won't see any upward trajectory until our recruiting improves.

shoganai

9/30/22 2:35pm

I don't disagree, so why is our recruiting improving in every area EXCEPT dline?

runnincoug

9/30/22 2:37pm

Per kotacoug it’s 100% scheme…I disagree but thought I’d speak for him today

9/30/22 2:41pm

Our most recent DL recruiting seems to be quite strong.

shoganai

9/30/22 2:44pm

I think that’s true. Hopefully the recent defensive line commitments really

TempeCoug

But we can lose a WR, DB, RB, OL person and have the depth to be fine

runnincoug

9/30/22 3:29pm

You won’t get an argument from me that defense needs better recruitment.

TempeCoug

9/30/22 4:21pm

87th in rushing yards allowed isn’t average

I'mBatman

9/30/22 2:55pm

Our run D is obviously our weakness. That was pretty well assumed coming into

What’s the pass d ranked?
