Won't even pretend I understand the efficiency ratings, but looks like we only tried  the easy, short ones that couldn't go further?

I would love to be in a coaching meeting when the "off the field analyst" presented these stats to the coaches.  Mind boggling that this wasn't addressed during the season.

I am sure the meeting went like this:

"With stats like that we need to run the ball more, Rhett, make it happen."

Stat, what did the rush numbers look like on first down? We had to be running against 9-10 every time. 

[caleb1633 1,418]

80% of first down plays were runs... Please tell me this shifts at least 10% the other way this season.

So what's the difference in pass efficiency and completion percentage?

NCAA Pass-Efficiency Formula

 

To determine a pass-efficiency rating, multiply a passer's yards per attempt by 8.4; add the number obtained by multiplying pass completions per attempt by 100; add the number obtained by multiplying touchdowns per attempt by 330; and subtract the number obtained by multiplying interceptions per attempt by 200.

 The formula is as follows:

ER = TY/PA*8.4+PC/PA*100+TD/PA*330-I/PA*200, 
where TY=total yards; PC=pass completions; PA=pass attempts; TD=touchdowns; I=Interceptions; ER=Efficiency Rating.



 Factoring out 1/PA leaves:
ER = (TY*8.4+PC*100+TD*330-I*200)/PA

More problematic, the other team's Defensive analyst are well aware of these tendencies as well.
