Calling on Analytics!

Don't know anything about the guy and you can love or hate the grading system but I am confident this board is a better place with his post game grades and the conversation and debates that his insight initiates.

Great post. Quite frankly it eliminates bad opinions with facts.

Well, kinda.

I mean correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the "analysis" include points to defense and offense for "winning the game" or something like that?

Sure, the tables are a bunch of numbers that are facts.

What you select to include or exclude in the tables is an opinion.

We all see the games, we know basically what the problems are in most games (schemes, choice of key players e.g. QBs, conditioning, turnovers, etc.).

If coaching were as simple as tabularizing a bunch of numbers, looking at them and saying: "Oh, to win we've got to just score more from the 25 yard line next time" or something like that, then we'd all be major program head coaches.

In general I think his choices are good ones that most coaches kind of live by. Eliminate turnovers, create turnovers, prevent big plays, create big plays, limit first downs, etc. I havent seen his work since last year so there may be a couple things in there I disagree with but so what. What I'm saying is when someone says something like the defense played good enough to win, but the metrics have them with 2 or 3 points then I say its accurate enough to discredit the opinion.
 
Some good, some bad
Ol pass protection , very good.
OL run block, awful.
DL play, bad 1st half, better 2nd
DB play, see above
WR really good, really good.
Stooooopid mistakes .... all game. Penalties, dropped INT’s,
Sam had a good game until the end.
We will be good, patience and UT fans do not mix.
just need some top level OL and DL
 
Hesitate even to get into this thread, but for the record, HPS says many times he did not choose the analytics. They come from Tom Landry or someone. Probably not exactly Tom Landry....
 
Here's you *ucking analytics:

Just now mentally sobering up after Sat.....

I'm so bewildered and frustrated by what i witnessed and what it tells us about the future. I know what i saw and don't need HPS analytics to further dwell on that C.F. game.

Color me very gruntled....
