* 1/3 of drives killed by a sack/TFL
* 1/3 allow a TD on a super-explosive
* Near zero methodical drives
Each category 15+ % pts off FBS norms. A matched pair of examples from every game: youtu.be/KuAq4BklL5Y

10.11.2025 15:43 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 02/3 Iowa as many as UO, so the weather and limited receiving options are just excuses for equally poor strategy from both OCs.
A hundred teams have left Kinnick with a loss after driving the field, congratulating themselves on rush conversions then fouling up in the redzone ...
1/3 I'm glad Oregon pulled it off, but their strategy vs Iowa was unnecessarily high risk. They wrestled the pig, forgoing at least 7 short-yardage opportunities for explosives in favor of methodical conversions. Both teams combined for 8 explosive passes ...

Iowa's called passing plays by target, with QB scrambles/discards as a side-by-side category - comparing share vs effectiveness over baseline.
It's quite unique to see this graph look like an X, a team has to almost be trying to mismatch this perfectly:

14.10.2025 15:20 β π 2 π 1 π¬ 0 π 0Fans tend to say that this happens on every RPO; it doesn't, timing is usually too fast because the key moment is when the ball leaves the QB's hand. Other fans argue that IDP should be overlooked when it's just a technicality, but here's it's obvious the bind the defense is in.
13.10.2025 20:36 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0The QB changing the play from a behind-the-line toss to the TE into a downfield throw to the WR makes it illegal, the delay has the run-blocking OL get over 3 yards downfield. Officials need to catch this, it materially affects the defense.
