re: Interesting perceptions vs. reality regarding the Miles and Orgeron offenses

OVerall on first half plays we are throwing the ball 46% of the time with Orgeron and 42% of the time with Miles

That is not an insignificant difference.

I'm guessing it gets even more interesting broken down by quarter.

If I'm one dimensional as frick in a game and can't move the ball....... Then, upon falling behind, I throw a ton of passes in my final two series of downs, but you are diverse and thus, late in the game, you get to ram it down their throats, we might end up with the exact same percentages. But that's hardly informative.

Moreover, defenses with leads tend to keep things in front of them and give up bull shite garbage yards.

So. You and I might even end up with similar passing yards.

Finally. If, as a result of not being one dimensional, the backs go the frick off, that's going to affect the percentages of yards between passing and running.

This is but one more reason stat hounding by itself is dumb.
