KS and misapplied "analytics"

Excellent post. Thanks.

I think a major miss on 4th down analytics everywhere is factoring in momentum.

12/8/22 2:09pm

I love the 4th down calls. Just come up with better plays. Why does it have to

and don't repeatedly call the same QB sneak when your QB is gun shy about...

Or use a FB or not the RBs that get tackled on first contact

^^^^^^this. Use a FB or lead blocker at least!

Analytics just don’t work in football. It’s a lot different than baseball or BB.

I think its overrated in basketball too. Seen way to many coaches rely on it

I would say analytics are even overrated in basketball

CameronG

"analytics" are just "stats" so you can read into them how you want

12/8/22 2:10pm

Exactly, I hate that so many decisions now are based "on the numbers"

CameronG

12/8/22 3:55pm

There is a lot of analystics that now support going for it on short distances

i'll continue my argument on 4th analytics. Be aggressive, but for Heavens sake

The Recruiting Measurables and Diamond in the rough really bothers me a lot....

All analytics based on averages should be…

Here's a simple fact about why offenses end up making mistakes:

TrueBlue67

12/8/22 3:10pm

If you don't know what the stats themselves are, or what they indicate, not sure

OldFogey

12/8/22 3:30pm

Exactly. You also need to know what they don't indicate.

Great post. They should also run stats on allowing drives of 10 or more plays

cdr88

12/8/22 3:57pm

OP said "seem to have found some data" on drop 8. As in, he has no idea. A post

OldFogey

12/8/22 4:06pm

I think the point of the OP is that the data shouldn't be the end all be all

CameronG

12/8/22 4:23pm

I get all that. Just calling out that the OP makes a ton of assumptions

OldFogey

12/8/22 7:10pm

Very well thought out

The worst part of “analytics” is misinterpretation/misapplication.

HiLife

12/8/22 5:00pm

Same. Usually the analytics were used to justify a decision already made.

One that drives me crazy is kick off returns

Jacob

12/8/22 6:09pm

Thank you - great example! Explains why we kept kicking to the USF returner

Milton

12/8/22 7:08pm

On Drop 8, it actually WOULD have worked IF we had been better in 3rd and long

12/8/22 6:20pm

They had those percentages because Drop 8 gets no pressure on the QB

CameronG

12/9/22 9:59am

I generally agree, but Drop 8 is used by almost every CFB team
