Bama giving up some yards

[Waffle Honcho]

Yards correlate to points.

Correlation doesn't equal causation.

A technically true statement. However, I have yet to see the regression analysis that doesn't draw a very high correlation between the two.

There may be a very high correlation, but that fact that yards don't cause points makes me care much more about points and much less about yards.

You should care. More yards increase the chances of more points.

Yeah, unfortunately I just don't care about anything other than points. You can keep track of any and all statistics you'd like though.

Giving up yards has worked out so well for us.

You kind of just proved his point...

We allowed more yards per game then the opponents avg 9 times and still managed to win 9 games.

FSU, Virginia Tech, Duke, and Louisville laugh at this post. UNC and Wake Forest are probably getting a chuckle as well.

Exactly, that is why we won those games. Because we gave up more than their offensive average... smh
