This is laughable...
So, it says "His 2015 aerial attack became Florida's first since 2009 to throw for more than 20 touchdowns with fewer than 11 interceptions (on 405 attempts)"
Well, that's not exactly true... According to Sports Reference the 2015 Gators threw for exactly, not more than, 20 TDs... with... 10 INTs. Splitting hairs, but that was on 404 attempts across 7 guys who threw a pass. Of course, not mentioned is that Florida's "explosive" 2015 attack managed the following line:
(comp-att-pct-yards-td-int)
229-404 56.7% 2904 20 10
Moving along.... "and the teams 410 attempts in 2016 was the most by any Gator team since 2002" Well, it's true.. they threw the ball 410 times. I mean... that's a lot of throwing. Right? Which.. is important... I guess... I mean, you have to throw the ball.. right? Might as well do it more often ... especially when you're good at it....
(comp-att-pct-yards-td-int)
241-410 58.8% 2805 18 15
Or.. even if you're not.. I guess...
On the other hand, scUM's passing attack managed:
(comp-att-pct-yards-td-int)
185-346 53.5% 2226 9 10 in 2017
I don't know, I'm not paid as handsomely as guys like Hairball, Hamilton and the now departed Drevno, but I'm not sure throwing the ball more is all that good an idea. On the other hand, what the alternative? Running it? Not a lot of prospects there either, I guess.
In case you're interested, old man and rag armed JT Barrett - the guy who was a huge liability for OSU was:
(comp-att-pct-yards-td-int)
240-371 64.7% 3053 35 9 in 2017 Though, I guess... in fairness, he didn't throw it 410 times. Because.. you know... 410 times is a lot.... and throwing it that much is... ummm... noteworthy. I guess.

Why did they just pick 2015 and 2016 to highlight, you ask?
Well....

174-312 55.8 1975 10 10
in 2017 doesn't really jump off the page at you... and... they didn't throw it as much.. because... you know.. throwing it more than 400 times is the sort of thing you'd put on your resume. So, you don't want to highlight that you didn't do that..
....
I guess.

Given the location, I'm guessing it's more like the Blue Oyster

Lyell: Few saw Jim McElwain's other side at CSU
https://www.coloradoan.com/story/sp...w-saw-jim-mcelwains-other-side-csu/814529001/
"But he also displayed the kind of arrogance here that was...."
"McElwain has a way of rubbing a lot of people the wrong way. There’s an arrogance about him that overshadows..."
Doesn't sound like he'll fit into the culture at Michigan.
