    Play by down and distance:
    1-3 yards to go - 87% run
    3-7 yards to go - 75% run
    8+ yards to go - 65% run

    That's play by distance not down and distance. If you have it broken down by down and distance that would be chinteresting. Obviously first down is mostly 10 yards to go but second down 1-3 yards to go, 3-7 yards to go etc and same for third down would be chinteresting.

    Also this is probably unrealistic but if you have numbers for averages either in CFB or P5 to have a baseline to compare against that would be quite helpful.

    Not expecting you to, but ye have not because ye axe not, yada yada.
    Yeah, you're right. I have it, but I have some shit to do now after procrastinating all day. I'll cut that data later.

    It's the HH offense people cried for -- one that plays to our proven strengths (RB, O-line, TE) and should help RB recruiting going forward.

    I'm looking for any reason to bash the OC but this gameplan all things considered was fine to me. Now if it's the same exact thing against UA...







    Thank you Doogstone. This is how I felt the last two days as I’ve been reading the boreds. No getting cute when you’re running it down the defense’s throat. No crazy formations with 17 shifts.

    OSU had a weakness and Lake kept at it. The drops by Bynum, Puka, Ty, and Rome would have been big conversions and two TDs. Suddenly Morris’ numbers look much better for his first game and throw in 267 on the ground for good measure.

    They had a game plan for OSU’s weakness on the line, the weather, and an inexperienced line and WB, and it worked. Lake says they plan for their offense to be able to execute multiple game plans, and we will see if that is true against Arizona. Let’s see if they are a multiple offense that adjusts to their opponent. Let’s see if Lake is all talk.

    Throughout camp WR spoke highly of the aggressive downfield passing with chances to make plays. I doubt they say that shit if all they do is block.

    I counted Luciano as an additional TE, so that's the discrepancy on my end. I presumed he was technically eligible, but I don't claim to be an expert on all of this.

    In the doldrums of summer, I actually tried to chart the entire 2019 offense to see if some of my memories were correct. Mercifully, the Husky Archive didn't have recordings of the Colorado or Stanford games, so I was forced to stop after 4-5 games.

    It seems like this was appreciated, so I'll try to keep this up going forward. There are some good sites that compile the stats, but I'd never been able to find personnel groupings or specific plays/formations (wildcat and 5 wide in particular for the 2019 offense), so that's why I just started doing it myself. I'll have to check out this Sports Info Solutions site, but I'm assuming you have to pay for it and I'm a cheap bastard.

    As far as I'm aware, Luciano did NOT false start on the goal line this game. Progress.

    I like my rational posts sprinkled into the crazy. Too much rational gets boring.

    Yeah, Westover seems to be full on FB. I hope we blow someone out because I'd like to see Culp get some time at that position. He was a RB in high school.

    To this point, I like to let everyone be bridge jumping. It doesn’t bother me one bit, in fact I think it brings a lot to the conversation because within the hysteria and vitriol is a lot of quality insight into weaknesses of the players/coaches/team. There needs to be some accountability, which is why this place is better than Doogman.

    Then I come along and sprinkle a touch of rational and optimism. Guys question it, I retort, we all say yeah but still. Lather, rinse, repeat, it’s the script.

    Yeah, Westover seems to be full on FB. I hope we blow someone out because I'd like to see Culp get some time at that position. He was a RB in high school.

    There is a lot of bullshit spewed about Westover because he’s white and was a walk on. He was never healthy in high school and was overlooked. The article in the Seattle Times said he ran a 4.6 and his vert was like 38” which was top 5-10 on the team.

    He’s a very good athlete, seems tough, and was a good find. That has nothing to do with Culp, but I thought Westover was decent last year and will end up a good player for us. Not a star, but hopefully a guy that doesn’t everything relatively well and plays his role well.
    You sure he won't get broken if he's tackled?

    Oh I love Westover. I think he's a total stud. I'd just be interested to see how Culp would perform at that position since he clearly didn't cut it as a traditional TE.

    I believe he had the crucial hold toward the end of the game when we were in the red zone. It was the cal game 2.0 until the qb threw the ball off his offensive lineman back.

    Culp’s dropped fourth down conversion last year told me all I need to know.

    Not expecting you to, but ye have not because ye axe not, yada yada.
    After being bullied by @dnc here is the revised down and distance.

    1st down:
    1-3 yards - 1 time (1st and goal), 100% rush
    4-7 yards - 2 times, 100% rush
    8+ yards - 28 times, 75% rush

    2nd down
    1-3 yards - 5 times, 100% rush
    4-7 yards - 8 times, 100% rush
    8+ yards - 9 times, 77% pass

    3rd down
    1-3 yards - 7 times, 72% rush
    4-7 yards - 7 times, 72% pass
    8+ yards - 4 times, 75% pass

    I don't love the 2nd down numbers, but it's a small sample. I'm staying fairly optimistic for many of the reasons Gladstone pointed out earlier.

    1-3 yards - 7 times, 72% rush
    4-7 yards - 7 times, 72% pass
    8+ yards - 4 times, 75% pass

    Based on these numbers, we ran the ball about ~75% on standard downs (First downs, second-and-7 or fewer, third-and-4 or fewer, and fourth-and-4 or fewer)... As of 2018, national average was around 60%.

    On passing downs (Second-and-8 or more, third-and-5 or more, or fourth-and-5 or more) we threw ~75%... In 2018 the national average was around 66%.

    Relatively orthodox, in terms of pass and run distribution, based on down-n-distance.

    The first down numbers are somewhat concerning. It’s a myth that running on early downs helps protect your QB. If anything you want to pass more on early downs because it puts 3rd downs in a much more manageable position instead of 3rd and 6+. Also allows you to avoid 3rd downs completely which you obviously want to do. It’s Oregon State and it was shitty weather, still too early but it’s not good.

    Bain and Curne are amazing.

    Ale is getting there.

    Kirkland and Wattenberg suck

    You're right about Wattenberg but wow, man. Kirkland? Is this a meme?
