Stat, can you send this as a weekly mailer to Gus and Chip?

I trust your expertise, JR, but I still can't get the images of our O-Linemen chasing their D-Linemen to our QB out of my head.

Oh, contraire...Id LOVE to see the OC Gus. The HC Gus offense isn't a 'Gus offense.'

Some I'll add: * In 2 games, Gus Malzahn is 0-2 versus Ed Orgeron. * In the 2 losses versus Ed Orgeron, Gus Malzahn has given up an average of 15.5 points advantage per game. * In Gus' last 2 losses to Ed Orgeron, the world didn't end. WDE!

"...before Stidham was allowed to target the intermediate passes..." Allowed by whom...UCF defense or AU offensive staff?

How's about we just give ST to someone else and keep Horton just the same? He does pretty well with RB's...jes sayin'

Did it have to be declined if there is a 10-second runoff? Also, it was a loss of down penalty. I'd love for the stats to have to be amended...

I don't need the last word, Im just enjoying you making a perpetual ass of yourself.

You're a bit of of a drama queen, no? And please brush up on your reading comprehension. Not once was the effort of the D called into question by me; only the statistical method of point-to-yards ratio.

There was a reason I said I'm not disputing it but I'd like to see this play out over time, but you get the StatTiger brownie post of the day...so you've got that going for you.

So if you play a weak schedule with a high ratio, doesn't that somewhat distort any true evaluation of the strength of a defense for the purposes of predicting future outcomes? I understand the concept, but if you have a "bend but don't break" D against weak offenses, you can't expect that to factor into any predictions of future opponents of higher quality. It's an interesting statistic, but I'd have to see some results over time that support it being a good measure for rating how good a defense actually is. I'm not disputing it, because you do an amazing job with stats...I just see some holes in this one.
