Happy Veteran's Day to all who served Thinking about my paternal Grandpa who served as an engineer building front-line air fields across Europe. His letters home reveal a kid who missed his family (& hunting w/ his dog) Here are his photos from landing on Utah Beach on D+11

We know much less about my maternal grandfather's service. He didn't like to discuss it and was a coal miner's orphan w/ few people to write home to . All we know is he served in a support role in the Pacific w/ the 5th Air Force & Far East Air Service Command.

No exaggeration. This might actually be the worst thing you'll ever looked at in your entire life: Florida Offense vs Oklahoma

Brad White really got away from his tendencies vs OU. Varied the personnel and went way heavier on the boxes. Blitzed a ton w/ lots of Man on the backend. (got smoked by a bad OU offense)

🤦‍♂️
Oklahoma ▫️Pretty poor offense that is taking a lot of sacks ▫️Done better vs 3-3-5 which Florida bases out of ▫️Doing better throwing to the TEs and likes to target the slot (need Ni & LB to cover well)

I should post this disclaimer every week
Replying to @BanFallWeddings
I think season long Opp Adj EPA/play is a very solid representation of how a team has played to-date. I've never done a compariison against other metrics nor testing of predictiveness It's just a value I made, a value I like, and something I have fun posting every week

📊Opp-Adj EPA/Play Wk 1-10 ▫️Irish are the real deal ▫️Unbeaten Utes visiting Arizona. Solid #pac12afterdark ▫️Texas kids used to dream about scoring points. Now they dream of operating a Buc-ee's franchise ▫️Cougar Offense vs Ram Defense. It will be SOMETHING.

📊Adv Stats Playcalling Sheet Florida ▫️Terrible sack & scramble EPA ▫️Actual pass atts are good, esp to TE ▫️Run game is slightly inefficient ▫️UF needs to lean way more on the QB-run. Huge for Buster at GT. You've got 2 similarly mid QBs, you can risk it Request in comments

Hand up! I put some slop on the timeline here. I got a lot of good feedback and did my best to incorporate it while taking another stab at this. I think all teams should be passing at least a little more. From my analysis, the "optimal" run-pass mix on early downs lands somewhere between 56% and 75%.
