Here's a nice little breakdown of some good and bad from Franks,
*Im going to share a pet peave. In my opinion, a lot of football nowadays on the defensive side relies way too much on speed and not enough on proper technique (esp. tackling, pursuit, and body position/control). I know the rules (penalties and coach/player contact time) makes it difficult, but a lot of what I see today is just hot garbage, especially our tackling. Though all position groups were guilty, our secondary looked a lot more like Matador U than DBU tonight. Combined with a distinct lack of "want to," you get what we all saw. We played like the Fightin' Camel C0cks in terms of pad level when tackling.
Turnovers matter, not percentages. If we split evenly the remaining turnovers in our games, then we will be (presumably) better off with a worse percentage (i.e., fewer total turnovers) since we will be favored in most games and turnovers lead to upsets.Yes, I’m speaking in percentage recovered. Like everyone else in the world who looks at this stat. We currently sit at 20% recovered. In your scenario, we get back to the high 40s. Quite literally regressing to the mean.
No problem. Hopefully, we just survived our worst turnover performance of the year. 1:4 ratio isn’t that common and winning with that ratio even less so, especially against a P5 team.Turnovers matter, not percentages. If we split evenly the remaining turnovers in our games, then we will be (presumably) better off with a worse percentage (i.e., fewer total turnovers) since we will be favored in most games and turnovers lead to upsets.
Two things about turnovers:
1) we did well to win while negative 3 in turnovers, as your reference pointed out;
2) and, thanks for the reference. I always suspected that they were random and it's nice to have proof.
for a second, I thought Muschamp was coaching againTackling was mind-numbingly bad.
