    It has been a while since I looked up the numbers, the only team with a higher %, was a Miami of Fla team, that was it. I could look up the numbers, the major increase from 12 to 13 seasons.

    There is no doubt Cam had something to work with. Mett at times knew all he had to do was throw the ball up, OBJ and Landry would come down with it. Against ND, the Safeties were gonna cover over the top on Dural, so the TEs were gonna be open.

    I guess the same can be said for Chief? His best year of YPG was 2011, when he had 7 NFL players taken in the top three rounds. His worst? 2013, even the Co-DC had better numbers. So the level of talent works on both sides?

    To add: Chief has given up twice in seasons more yards per game than the Co-DC. Chief had only had one season with less than 300 ypg, the 2011. On the flip side, Pellini never had a season at LSU where he avg more than 300 ypg.

    Do you recall which year that was? (I'd look at the NCAA database, which I'm assuming you are, but with their redesign it's a pain in the neck to surf through.)

    I suspected you were talking about Stanford when I first read the post. Since you're talking about Miami, that would make three teams with a higher percentage. GT finished at the top of the heap this season, but again, a few tenths of a percentage point higher than the '13 offense.

    FWIW, my judgment runs along the lines of "if you're under 40%, it's bad:" versus "if you are over 50% the team is doing a great job."

    Like I said, it had been a while since I read it. But I seem to remember Vinny Testy being the QB. Maybe you don't know how it is with is old guys and memory?

    Terry, quick one, does Nick have a buyout clause in his contract? I know for the longest, he didn't, has that changed?

    I didn't think last year's offense was particularly creative or innovative. It's the same plays, with the only difference being we had a QB who could complete a forward pass. Maybe that is innovation in a Les Miles offense.

    Geez. Early 80's then...

    Just guessing here, but it seems like you may have read that somewhere and whoever wrote it was wrong. Finding out where that '13 offense ranks, and having to go back to Testaverde's days at Miami...geez, a lot of clicks there.

    No. There were some minor changes in the last extension (2022) but they're little things like bumps in life insurance, a cap on liquidation if he's fired without cause, a guarantee his pay will be an average of the top three coaches in FBS play, etc. Nothing significant.

    What is this, when I try and be objective, I get blasted. What to do?

    I give both sides and now, I'm the bad guy?
