Field goals aren’t supposed to be automatic… but some of these guys didn’t get the memo 😅
Here are the PAAR leaders through Week 14.
Tate Sandell is basically printing points.

Decided to revisit some past work from @StevenPlai regarding QBs' performance relative to their supporting cast (linked below).
Y Axis: 50/50 Composite of EPA/play + Completion % Over Expected
X Axis: 40/40/20 Split of OL/WR/RB performance in lesser reliant on QB metrics...

Bot is broken until further notice. Thank you Kegan
.@SoonerReport sent some crystal balls out late because I’m a dumbass sometimes. Carry on.
This is nuts. We may never see anything like last night ever again.

We all love explosive QB's. This graph shows how often they generate explosive plays, and when they do, how much they exceed expectations. This is also just more Caleb Williams love #CFB #CollegeFootball

Here’s the #Seahawks all-22 for rookie CB Tre Brown’s OT stop:
- Perfect technique into the quarter drop
- Reads QB eyes the whole play
- Breaks instinctively on the ball before it’s thrown
- Makes strong, picture perfect tackle
Exciting stuff from the rookie in his first game
Yards before contact per carry update:
vs. Tulane: 0.97
WCU: 5.6
Nebraska: 1.87
WVU: 0.7
Texas: 2.25
TCU: 5.8
Replying to @StevenPlai
More granular, here are the yards before contact by game
Tulane: 0.97
WCU: 5.6
Nebraska: 1.87
WVU: 0.7
So that WCU game is skewing things greatly

Reminder: SDAA meeting tonight at 7 in GLG 127. RStudio setup tutorial by @StevenPlai ! Be there!
Lincoln Riley regular season pass rate at OU
2015: 42%
2016: 40%
2017: 44%
2018: 42%
2019: 39%
2020: 47%
2021 (so far): 52%
Replying to @StevenPlai
Conclusion: the run-blocking has been really bad as evidenced by Lincoln's sudden commitment to throwing the ball more.
But the pass-blocking has been mostly solid and even on its worst days just slightly below-average.
I've seen a lot of discussion around OU's offensive line play this week.
Per @PFF, the Sooners are above-average in both pass protection and run game.
Y axis inverted because lower pressure rate is better
