The sentinel gave me a midnight deadline for this so I just barely made it.
There's a lot in here and it's probably worth the read if you ask me.
There's players numbers outside of OL because there was already enough in here. But, my main point behind this was to kind of discuss how valuable this information is (I put a lot of the information in here together for personal reasons) so it was kind of the point a wanted to drive home.
It has nothing to do with thinking I know more than coaches (which many of you like to say I think I do), it also has nothing to do with wins and losses. You ask me to design a play, route combos, blocking schemes, I couldn't make one.
But, Understanding situations and what gives you the best chance to succeed is another story. IMO, ever play is a situation. A down and distance and you have to decide what gives you the best chance to be successful in that situation. It's not too difficult of a point to try and get across unless you refuse you understand it, which plenty of people do and I understand that.
If you combine these numbers (from a UCF perspective) with the defensive numbers of another team in the same situation, there's no way you can say it doesn't give your team a major advantage.
Execution is obviously important, but setting your guys up in a spot where they have the advantage in a situation limits can hide some execution lapses at times.
Two player points I made:
Taj McGowan was an animal. It's imo a disgrace he didn't get more carries, especially as a senior. I understand how good McCrae was, but there were a billion other carries that Taj could've gotten a share of. On 1st and 10 runs he was 16-22 in terms of success rate and averaged 7+ ypc. That's stupid good.
Another was Otis. I think highly of him as a football player and think Heupel kind of unverstalied his versatility based off his usage based on personnel. Kind of saying that, he was either on the field as a true WR or a true RB and never as a guy who could be both at the same time, something he was last season.
As always I'll answer any question. I don't care if you don't read it, it's long as shit, but I think you should.
