Interesting Hetherman stat (to me)

It don’t matter dog, Hollywood Hogan may become baby face & turn into real American Hero Hogan…

Although, bro got boo’d to oblivion on Raw. Lol
That was nasty.... For everything he's done for wrestling and to see it go like this is sad.... Not saying he didn't earn the disrespect, just saying it sucks to see it play out in the manner it has...

So I’m pumped about this hire

Now there’s a lot of stats to like with Hetherman but as we know stats can often be manipulated both good and bad

It’s just a different form of football in that conference

One thing I like to look at with DCs is how they fare compared to the other teams average offense per game (just looking at teams that matter)

So here we go:

Virginia Tech 223 (they had 394 against us)
VT avg 367.8

UNC 252
UNC avg 406.7

Iowa 334 (Minn had a -2 TO diff)
Iowa avg 328.8

Michigan 241
Mich avg 286.2

USC 373
USC avg 437.2

UCLA 329
UCLA avg 328.8

Maryland 427
Mary avg 386.3

Illinois 352
Illinois avg 364.8

Rutgers 349
Rutgers avg 382.7

Penn State 361
PSU avg 430.2

Wisconsin 166
Wisc avg 350.3


Quick analysis:

Expected yards given total = 4,070
Yards given up = 3,407

Roughly 60 less yards per game (Wisconsin really skews it)


Maryland was the main anamoly to the negative but it appears the majority of their yardage was gained after the game was 41-10 and the backups were in

As we know every game is different and each one tells a story so I like to look at the season this way and look for trends

Given that Minnesota is clearly not Miami when it comes to recruiting talent I thought this was pretty compelling (as far as stats go)
Did you happen to do this for our D? Just curious to see how our d did against team averages. The difference between Minny and us is is theoretically what we are getting.

from a purely statistical point of view, this is the wrong method of digging through the stats.

Yes to your questions.

Our front 7, especially LB’s are going to drastically improve

Here’s the condensed game vs PSU this year


What's cool about this is Fleck kicked the FG on 4th and goal down 4 with 5 min to go, and Heatherman's defense got the stop (only for Franklin to make a great fake punt call on 4th down). They even stopped PSU again later on 3rd and short but gave up the first on a tush push on 4th down.
