I hear ya.


You said UGa would beat UC because of pad level. Of 22 Guys on the field at once I was curious how you track that beyond the eye test. You confirmed it for me.

To me pad level changes so much from play to play I’m not sure that’s a true indicator. You can tell how teams reset the LoS etc, you can see how they run to the football and gang tackle. You can see But you’re the first person I’ve ever heard say - a team will beat another team because of consistent season long pad level

All I’m saying is with 11 guys on O and 11 guys on D - equals 22 played on the field at once - how anyone could possibly break down the pad levels of each player to determine that pad level is the indicator for whether a team will win or lose. See above for what I consider to be better metrics.

I didn’t mean to sound like an ass so no need to be so defensive. I can see now how I may have come across that way. Love talking football. I spent 10 years on the college level so we can chat schemes al day long if you want.
