    Explosives aren't just positive plays. We saw Jones do a great job navigating pressure and avoiding sacks. Personally, I prefer him here vs UGA. But at the end of the day, I trust the coaches much more than my data, and will root enthusiastically for whoever is getting the snap

    📊WLOCP Adv Stats Preview ▫️Florida must win the explosive battle ▫️UF OFF: WR+TE vertical passing; RB runs & screens probably can't get you there. Need QB to do a lot w/ their legs ▫️UF DEF: DBs can't be liabilities. S help for WR at expense of Run/TE/RB passing. Blitz?

    I love this take. Using data to push back against traditional ideals is really where analytics is most valuable (and fun and interesting!).

    Mark me solidly in the "throw [much more] because EPA go brrrr" category. I think it's the No. 1 thing where we lose the forest through the trees in football: NFL run-pass split is sub-optimal and it stares us in the face!

    I'm long on pass rates. I think over 10-20 years we'll slowly see it creep up in neutral game states

    Not saying to totally get away from the run game. But in 20 years do you think the pass rate will be lower, the same, or higher? I think it's more likely to go up than down is all.

    Pretty cool candid interview here. Generally jives w/ the eye test. Especially the issues w/ playcalling that @SethVarnadore and I used to discuss on @GatorsGameday (one day we'll bring it back) Interesting to hear the meddling issue. Would explain a lot

    Alabama Keelon Russell is great. But an 11% Sack Scramble rate with -0.32 EPA/play is going to make it hard for any offense to stay consistent

    Florida Blitzed on a ridiculous 63% of Dropbacks vs Texas. And it worked. Success Rate dropped to 38% on Blitzes comapred to 56% on non-blitzes. EPA/play similar 0.03 to -0.34. Sacks & Scrambles at 13% (at -1.68 EPA/play!)

    Cooper and Black look like Sunday players. Mendoza TBD. Interesting.

    The NFL Draft is going to be a big tell. An old title winning team should have 10-12 guys drafted. Right now Indiana only has 3 projected to go in the first 3 rounds. Comparatively, OSU might have 3 Top 10 picks.
