Completely ridiculous statement. Sometimes game situations override what the studies say. And you incorrectly assume I haven't seen them.

And again, you're continuing to deflect from the original discussion. I wonder why?

The way Fla came out in the 3rd I can understand not wanting to put the ball in the air against that secondary when you have the RBs we have

Except that we called the same percentage of pass plays in the 3rd quarter as we did the 2nd, when some people are convinced we were "more balanced".

The stats have been expanded with no comment on actual flow of the game

there is a lot of academic/economic analysis in this area

in that instance last night, what is 25 yards (which was great considering what typically happens) compared to a shot to end the game?

i didn't lead this digression

plus, discussing the lack of rational aggression in the 2nd half perfectly applies to that decision

25 yards with no TO and them having to score a TD? kinda big...even bigger if they only needed a FG

the fact that if we went for it and not got it, instead of them running a hail mary that falls 5 yards short of the endzone they are running an actual play to end the game at about the 25 yard line?

It's roughly 30% further they have to move the ball?

even if we are to assume this guess is true, what are teh odds of a 25 yard completion in that scenario? very, very low

so even in that instance, it's not very worrisome

this is compared to essentially a 0% chance of victory if we convert (we'd have to fumble a QB kneel)

If Florida had started the drive at the 40 instead of the 10 because Miles went for it on 4th down, it would go down as one of the worst decisions in sports.

so what if they only needed a FG? because you said you should NEVER punt inside the opponents 50

Shot to end the game was a 4th and 7 at their 35. What is the percentage chance of converting that play and winning? How much greater is that percentage than punting and forcing a team to drive 80 or more yards with no timeouts in 1:30?

with a QB that SFP has called garbage multiple times

4th and 7 against UF defense or let Treon Harris go 90 yards with no TO in 90 seconds

which odds favor LSU?

It's not even fricking close of a call but Miles and Peveto recreated the stat analysis software. Silicon Valley and Lunhow are greener with envy than Saban shitting his pants Ala Mary Catherine Gallagher. Omg reverse engineering at its finest...

you're still risking 20-ish yards for a chance to win the game. that opportunity (to win) is more valuable than the yards

hell the models are often run with NFL stats, which implies MUCH better kicking (both punting and FGs) so i imagine it's not close for college

most college kickers fricking suck and the team would have to get to the 25-ish yard for a solid FG opportunity, just as most punters in college suck. we were lucky that keane didn't frick that punt up, given his output this year

the data has been run and punting is the inferior choice

note: i didn't run the data, but it's out there

Now we're talking about NFL stats and kicking when the original point was about the mythical shift in run pass ratio that never actually happened until it made total sense to do so.

Keep digging man. Before long you'll be talking about TV shows and no one will even remember how wrong you were.

So if it's out there, and you've obviously seen it, why don't you share it with the rest of the class... because the rest of the class thinks that giving a team the ball at the 40 instead of the 10 is pretty fricking stupid.
