Message: [QUOTE="Husky68, post: 4738850, member: 173"] Lot of good happy talk, it's all about offensive play/passing. Looked up on "Team Rankings" for how many plays teams run per game. 2022 UConn was 128th with 61.8 and 55 for 1st game of 2023 was very low. Not something would expect from team that is run 1st, reinforces concept that UConn's run stats are skewed to few big runs and lot of short runs leading to not moving chains. Since was there looked at "average team passer ratings" (whatever that means) and for 2022 UConn was 88.5 which was last for all FBS teams, 2023 was 102.4 which was 125th and one game in 2023 was 84.1. Just to show how poor UConn is/was for 2022 the high was almost 180 and the median was about 130. Most of the good teams were at the top. Yards per pass attempt 2022 was 5.1 which was 129th with other team highs of 10.0 and median of 7.3. 1st game of 2023 was 4.2 for UConn. Current college football is passing orientated and UConn's plan of running 1st (especially with smaller backs and tight formations) is counter to what most college teams are doing. We shall see how that works in year 2. Can only shorten game so much by lot of runs and taking 39.5 seconds on each snap, got to score more than 18.7 as was the per game in 2022 (against 5 top 85 teams in 2022 averaged little over 11 points per game with some of those teams playing 2nd/3rd string for much of the second half).
