Wouldn't this stat be a summary of total running plays over a season? Is there a stat specifically for 3rd and short rushing efficiency? Seems like there should be a focus on our 3rd down success rate which as I recall is terrible.
Your eyes are lying to you when you see our great O line get blown up in key situations and the red zone leading to a 5-3 record, the only number that matters.
But by all means lets do analytics. They show that starting seniors over freshman increases your win probability
And that even if the running game is working, a well placed bubble screen or tackle eligible play works every time!
The 2000 line that was maligned here won at least two games with 9 minute plus 4th quarter drives on the ground
They also trailed early in most games and won late
The complete opposite of this year
My analytics show that it is because the O line sucks until it doesn't
Beat Utah and we can talk. If we lose it won't be for any other reason than we got our ass beat up front
True. It seems like Pete's lines are generally okay at run blocking (when we need to pick up ten yards) but the pass protection can make Eason look like Brownsox. And, lets not talk about short yardage situations.
Anal-ytics work IF used properly. In this case, I am sure we face a different defensive front at 3-1 than on other longer yardage situations.
I hate Olin Kruetz with a passion but he is what we need right now. With Pete's second best (physically) mentality I have no idea whether his lines will ever be championship caliber.

Fuck off. I just answered my own question.
We need a few Olin kreutz types in the program at this point.
Problem is that:
- Peterman would never recruit him - if he did, Olin would be out of the program faster than mosiah niu Liu for just raising his voice or intensely staring at someone - Peterman doesn't tolerate jaw breaking fights and all that stuff, Peterman lacks the ruthlessness of a don James ... Of course there's the upside to that ... - hell, Peterman punishes his own players for showing competitive spirit and juice and not backing down by getting them to do push-ups in order to form them into the same robotic self as him ...
(Holey FUCK the quote function is Fucked UP. And, no, its not operator malfunction).

Or sucker punching (and ending a teammates career) some one.

Our 3rd/4th down short yardage rate would be good. Newton was dominating in that role. I can also think of two TD’s Ahmed got on 4th down. One vs Oregon from the 11 and a long one vs Cal.

But not because of the OL.
hth
F dnc and his 53 seconds.

We don't suck because math!

Long drives ending in a field goal
Inability to convert in the red zone led to the Cal loss that led to the season ending suddenly
Everyone is focused on Oregon but the O line cost us the season early on
Ahmed had 120 yards plus. Skinny was under duress all night. When it came time to get it done we didn't
Its a simple game made complex by people that get paid a lot of money to do so
Please to be comparing Pete's lines to some one other than Pete's lines.

Might want to change your loser er user name. No need to fire Pete. His O line isn't terrible
He's never had a good one. You're the second to damn him with that faint praise

Okay, I am done. For today.
The stat DNC is using proves why Ahmed is running good. He’s not a back that can succeed without great blocking.
