Analytics don't know the players or watch practices.

So in both situations Florida scored 0 points, but LSU gave up good opportunities to score 14. Your examples give no good evidence punting was the right play. The pick, in fact, says you should have just gone for it either way if Florida was just going to give you the ball back

If you ignore the part about where they started their drives and how many yards they gained in those possessions, sure

No, it's not. Florida sustained one drive the entire game but they did have drives where they made a couple of first downs. Risking giving them the ball at midfield is not what you do when your defense is playing well and your offense is struggling

It’s like some of yall think that analytics only factors in positive outcomes.

Your defense playing well gives you MORE reason to go for

Obviously, specific conditions could easily make decision that are against general analytics the right decision.

I don't know why you are confused by that.

Then why would you punt when it’s was over 50% chance you could keep the ball?

I’m not. Florida wasn’t scoring either way. Considering that fact, why would you give up a rare opportunity to score yourself?

Way too many coaches willfully give up the ball when the other team is extremely likely to not score. And just by being on defense you are leaving the game more in the referees hands and to chance. All offenses have to do is chuck the ball deep and hope for a flag

Well, for one, it isn't a fact. But let's pretend it is a fact, then once LSU got a lead they should have just taken knees and punted every time they had the ball. If Florida not scoring was a fact, then LSU didn't need to score once they had a lead

You used results as the basis of your argument so of course it’s a fact. If we’re playing the results, as you did, there was precisely ZERO reason not to go for it

Blanket statements like that are meaningless.

It's the right decision if you think, in total, your chances of winning are maximized by punting. It's absolutely not a crazy suggestion when you consider our defense and their QB.

You are wrong because you are certain that Kelly made a bad decision.

If we're playing the results, LSU won the game by 10 points doing what they did. So, no, there was no need to risk anything they didn't if we're going by the results.

I also used yards Florida gained on drives and where those drives started. If those drives started at midfield instead of deep inside their own territory, they have a higher likelihood of scoring more points than they did on those drives

SMH

Doing that shite is going to cost LSU an important game at some point. Florida turned the ball over 5 times and LSU had to play 60 minutes to win the game.

Giving up chances for points is not how this team is going to win important games

so the coach that in the past has relied solely on analytics and lost the big game...and you are are calling him a literal retard for trying something different?

you realize in the past he has done exactly what the analytics said over and over and lost, right? why wouldnt he try something different?

This may be the dumbest arm chair quarterbacking I’ve ever seen. BK played it exactly right to walk away with a double digit SEC win. He even covered the spread for crying out loud.

BK’s job is not to satisfy Minho’s want to score 70 points every game. His job is to win games.

Does he really need to come out and say he has zero faith in the offense right now?

LSU is averaging only 20 points per game and that drops further to just 17.6 if you take away the pick 6 in the UF game.

The best chance of scoring is having the ball


Is it? Which scenario more often leads to points for team A?

1) Team A has the ball at their own 1 yard line.
2) Team A's opponent has the ball at their own 1 yard line.

I'd bet it's scenario 2.
