There is no getting around odds so feel free to believe whatever you want. The cold reality is that in football, every possession you give your opponent without increasing your lead is a gift of win probability to them. Even if you have the better offense, defense, athletes and coaching.

“more plays” is not universally good—it is good only when:
they are offensive plays
they are efficient
they consume clock
and they turn into points

Anything else is just giving the opponent another coin flip—and upset math lives off of coin flips.

Again, the problem Saturday night was not a lack of opportunity to make plays. It was a lack of execution. They did not produce points.

Going forward, nothing else needs change. Day has beaten talented teams before with the exact same fundamental structure. His approach is not the problem, it was just one outcome.

I agree with you generally and will agree with you completely if you consider dubious offensive personnel groupings, very little pre-snap motion to help Sayin make reads and or confuse the defense, and dubious situational play calling on high leverage downs as part of lack of execution. I tend to read "lack of execution" as, we put the players in an optimal position but they blew the implementation, and I think there were numerous occasions in which they were not put in an optimal position. Day's overall strategic approach may be the right one, but some of the tactics did not seem necessary or helpful in implementing that strategy. E.g., you don't need 3-4 TEs on the field to play slow. I do think they'll play it differently next time and that while they certainly tried to win, they thought they could do so with a basic game plan. Like you, I also give Indiana a lot of credit for being an old, salty team that played its balls off and made us pay for our hubris in thinking we didn't need anything special for them, but I still think that they're the gambler and we're the house.

PedSU loses 3 straight and fires Franklin. Their season falls apart. Their recruiting class falls apart.
Notre Dame plays the role of whiny bitch and refuses a bowl game because they didn't get into the CFP.
tCUN.... well they quickly turned a 9-3 season into one helluva dumpster fire.....

It sure is a good time to be Buckeye!!!!

Man, Ryan Days brother had the last laugh didn't he?

Son (10) and Daughter (8) had meets last weekend at Miami U. Both a little intimidated in swimming at a "BIG" college pool but both did great.
I still don't know if they truly understand the "why" of the technique their being taught right now (they are so little) and some kids are clearly faster but they're both having fun and doing better than I ever expected.

Going to continue to hit it 3x per week and they have meets in Jan and Feb coming up.

Great job academically - too many offensive guys to list. But great job in the classroom.

Maybe they should play less school and more football.

2023

66.0

44.8

just to keep things in perspective, he hasn't slowed down that much.

His PPG swings are bigger than his plays per game trend which again, speaks to efficiency not play volume.

People can also go do their own research on the topic you will find a ~.70+ level of correlation between EPA and Points per game. A much lower ~.20ish correlation between plays per game and points per game.

We are at 34.9 points per game this season.

Link? To the story/proof of DMs not the OF accounts. But I am sure @colobuck79 wouldn't mind if you sent those to him privately.

This is the heaviest week for them, in terms of meets - Last Saturday, Yesterday and Tomorrow - then it goes down to 1 per week mostly (a few weeks have 2 meets), but 3 meets in 6 days is a lot. Boy is swimming the 500 on Friday, which he's not looking forward to, but he did it last year once as well.

This is gross, and sad. We have to do better. He had a placement foot error and we have idiots publicly destroying the kid. Very sad.
