Total yards is a pretty useless stat now with the drastic differences in tempo/number of plays between college teams. At least use a stat like average yards per play- that one should still be simple enough for you to understand.

@benjimill are you secretly an ISU fan trying to make Iowa fans look stupid?
Ok I'll play along:
Iowa: 103/130 for avg yards per play:

Again, are you a double agent here to make Iowa fans look stupid?
Only reason it wasn't in the top 100 was because of the WR's. Everyone else was great
I am aware of that- this is at least a step in the right direction. Now, do you think the quality of the opponent’s defense has an impact on how many yards per play an offense averages?
Oh my god.
1+1=3
FFS; do you expect me to write a thesis to explain to you that the Iowa offense was not a world beater?
OK:
Kempt -.2 yards per run 0 fumbles lost
Stanley -2.3 yards per run 5 fumbles lost
Why didn't you respond to that?
Sigh.
At least I tried- apparently anything more complex than total yards or yards per play is too daunting for you to wrap your head around. That’s okay, I’m sure it’s not your fault.
You realize Iowa is going to have a cake walk schedule this year. Are you going to put an asterisk next to every stat at this time next year?
One QB operates out of a spread system against horrible defenses. The other operates out of a pro style attack against one of the most difficult schedules in all of college football. It’s not that hard to figure out, JP.
Then how did ISU have a more difficult schedule under Kempt than Iowa did with Stanley according to Sagarin?
From the one that rejects a composite of advanced metrics (QBR). Keep on cherry picking, even though your cherries normally turn up sour.
Normally the way out of a hole is to stop digging.
Were those teams really good on defense, or were the offenses they faced just really bad?
We will never know.
We don’t accept Sagarin on CyFan anymore- the only poll we acknowledge here is the AP Poll. Sorry.
If Kempt is in the spread so much running he should fumble more right?
Like once every decade
