In order to win a game as a 3 TD underdog you can’t be afraid to lose by 70!
Take high risk early:
1) fake punt from minus 1
2 surprise onside opening kick
3) Go for all fourth down and less than 5
4) Blitz all 11 on a short yard play
5) Run QB throwback on 4th and 1
(NoFear)

How a Northwestern biomedical engineering grad created a startup analytics company, which grew from 1 college football client in 2013 to 70 FBS & 4 NFL programs in 2022. He helped change football strategy w/"The Book" ... which, uh, isn't actually a book actionnetwork.com/ncaaf/how-…
Enjoyed being part of the article, well done @ESPN_BillC!!
STATE OF (COLLEGE) FOOTBALL ANALYTICS:
I wrote about the dramatic increase in fourth-down attempts, fourth downs as gateway drugs, player tracking (and the data that comes from it), passing on first down and what's next for the analytics movement.

Raiders punted on fourth and inches at the 2:00 warning from midfield in the tuck rule game, netting 10 yards? That choice deserves its own 30 for 30…..

imagine there's no "analytics"
no ignorance below us
above us only logic
imagine all the TV analysts
having informed debates about aggressive coaching decisions

Proud poppa moment. Here’s a great example of a player exploiting a rule for great field position. Explain the rule.

Coaches contradict themselves. “They’ll say things like, ‘It’s a game of inches.’ ... And they leave points on the field.”
But after the Ravens’ loss Sunday, the NFL’s analytics community felt hopeful. Just ask @FO_ASchatz, @friscojosh & @ChampStatsMike. baltimoresun.com/sports/rave…

UConn’s historic defense! Jarrett Guarantano with one hand tied behind his back! The race to 200 (passer rating)! Super lucky Kansas! Great ratings for horrible games!
Let’s take one final look back at 2018’s wildest (and most telling) CFB stats.

Just saw Jeopardy and maaaannn do I have some thoughts. (Spoilers below)
Nate got a daily double here and only bet $6,000. (He got it right) You gotta go for the kill against James! Gave him a little daylight and James took advantage.
While the last foul call against Auburn will be debated endlessly, how about the next to last one? Intentional foul gave UVA side out of bounds with 1.6 seconds left versus a contested 35-40 foot heave for the win if they just play D. – at Georgia, USA
