UW has a strong home-road split in fundamental stats on offense, but practically identical stats on defense. Why?

Opponent effects. F+ rankings of home opponents skewed to strong off/weak def; road vice versa. The performance difference is real, but weaker than it appears ...

Charting Iowa's defense is like watching Drunken Master - clumsily invite the opponent into the redzone only to even more stupidly avoid points.

This is the 1st of 3 explosive passes effectively undefended in c-4, then USC doesn't even think to throw to Lemon on the walk-in.

Oregon's ability to grant an opposing QB perfect vision, razor-sharp instincts, and laser accuracy -- then go right back to being a pumpkin the next week -- is truly magical.

How four years of watching Oregon basketball up close ages a man

Minnesota 2025 has the most boom or bust defense I've ever seen -

* 1/3 of drives killed by a sack/TFL
* 1/3 allow a TD on a super-explosive
* Near zero methodical drives

Each category 15+ % pts off FBS norms. A matched pair of examples from every game: youtu.be/KuAq4BklL5Y

1/3 I'm glad Oregon pulled it off, but their strategy vs Iowa was unnecessarily high risk. They wrestled the pig, forgoing at least 7 short-yardage opportunities for explosives in favor of methodical conversions. Both teams combined for 8 explosive passes ...

Iowa's called passing plays by target, with QB scrambles/discards as a side-by-side category - comparing share vs effectiveness over baseline.

It's quite unique to see this graph look like an X, a team has to almost be trying to mismatch this perfectly:
