Not to get too FootballOutsiders on you, but there should be some kind of weighing there. An interception is way worse than giving up a sack. With a sack you give up yardage, with an interception you give up possession, and possessions don’t come around easily in a football game. There is no way we can claim better offensive non-disaster-ness than BC in that game. They played a mediocre overall game, but MSU the weight of Hoyer’s interceptions and a couple of Davis drops had to be greater, I think.

I like the concept, though, since you can build up the number from mostly easily available stats. Maybe source it from less biased site.

Since my comment yesterday got filtered out (crossing fingers), I’ll say here again I’m glad to see this site back. I like the ‘Up With the Colors’ name a milli.

Ideally, this stat should be one that really is predictive for us. If our coaching staff is truly going to commit us to a more traditional, physical type of offense, minimizing our screw-ups is just as important as maximizing our production.

Thanks for all the support.

Basically, this stat measures all the things that can go badly on offense. It doesn’t account for all the things that can go right. I’d think the stat would be more predictive, therefore, for a team with a consistent offense–and a good defense since the stat obviously doesn’t account for that side of the ball.
