Declan MacManus posted:All of this information is correct. Also worth mentioning is that the NFL tracks yards after catch (YAC) to give credit to receivers doing all the hard work after the lazy quarterback throws a swing pass. This is about a college football game, but here's a really nice look at how this is important to remember.

I remember hearing about a safety caused by the offense lining up to punt without a punter.

I believe one of the advanced stat places - probably Football Outsiders - keeps track of points scored by starting field position. I think your own 20 is around 1 point, your own 1 is -1, their 40 might be 4.2. It would be a short hop from that to finding out if a team over or underperformed given their starting field position, which would actually make sense for comparing team to team rankings. Is this ringing a bell with anyone?

Just watch a ton of football at first. The gameday threads put up the least you need to know about who's playing each game. Eventually, you'll find some player / offensive or defensive style / close exciting win that makes you want to watch their game next week. That's your team.

You probably shouldn't rely on your team winning a single-elimination tournament if you're planning on a trip that involves your passport anyway.

Eater.com just published a list of team bars in a bunch of major cities. I'd recommend picking one (Green Bay's because I'm biased) and watching it with a crowd that's really into that game, instead of something where all 6 or so are on at the same time. That way, the bar's sound will be on the game, and when people hear you explain you heard (bar) was the place to see (team) to really experience American football in a British accent you'll have to grow 5 hands to hold all your free drinks.

Bill Connelly's book "Study Hall: College Football, Its Stats and Its Stories" is amazing. It's half "these are the schemes and strategies that are changing the game", half "these are the people and stories that are why we love college football." If you search for "why we love college football study hall" you should find the first chapter.

Deteriorata posted:The defense, on the other hand, has no idea where the play is coming. Every player has to bust his rear end off the line on every play - and much of that effort is wasted as the play goes a different direction. If a guy dogs it for one play to catch his breath, he may be the man to block to spring a big play. Baylor is a great example of this (midway down the page.)

Although there's probably a half-dozen teams that would attempt to put radios in all helmets to gain an advantage but also put green stickers on 'em.

Henchman of Santa posted:Pretty sure it would still be a sack if it was recovered by the offense. But I don't know if you can throw a recovered fumble. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jV2xZZLppbM Wisconsin would then lose because it was the '80s.
