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

No exaggeration. This might actually be the worst thing you'll ever looked at in your entire life:
Florida Offense vs Oklahoma
Lol the Light Box usage by Oklahoma with UF's 12 usage and Sack/Scramble rate is killing me

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)
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.
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)
📊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

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%.
