Every LHC Bill Snyder Offense and Defense Ever

[Benja]

PPP seems to be the most important right

Yes. And these are pure offense and defense numbers, no points from special teams. Special teams would be a separate thing to look at as well as turnovers. I only have good turnover stats back to 2000.

no need to do this, but I always thought points per possession was a better indicator. it also seems like it's harder to find that stat than points per play for football. Why?

It would be great, but possession/drive based stats are hard to get except for the last few years. It would take looking at every box score to get them.

I like how nicname bunched Josh Buhl in with those '98 studs 

[Cartierfor3]

2001 team should've won like 9 games easy

[Hurricane Cat]

nice work _Fan.

So Snyder leans heavily on the pass when he has the least amount of talent, interesting.

Said in his book that passing is a talent equalizer.  Much tougher to be bigger and stronger in the trenches

that was our best year to win it all

2002 never ever gets brought up in the best team discussion, its like a football discussion black hole. Those numbers are the only thing I really remember about 2002 is that Holiday Bowl and T Suggs totally wrecking everything but it not being enough. Ell was a tough sonofabitch.

Yeah, that team was really amazing.  Seems bogus that a 2 loss team (by 7 total points i think?) got relegated to the holiday bowl.

I a little when I saw 1998 knowing what could have been but also because that was when I was in school and got to see something so damn dominant

[GoodForAnother]

02 was an amazing team, especially defensively

I remember them being awesome and bring them up in the best team discussion all the time. They had the best defense I've ever seen and had Ell, Sproles and JT beta version. I routinely hear people say that the 2002 team was better than 2003, not that that necessarily means they are in the best team discussion.

How the hell they ever lost to Colorado I'll never no.

We lost to Colorado because Phil Bennett is a dumbass

Roberson was also still a work in progress in 02. Against UT and CU he completed less than 40% at about 6 yards per attempt.

[CNS]

Man, if he played ten yrs later it would have been for McNeese state.

Nicely done.

we also avoided OU/Tech/A&M
Nubb was terrible, KU terrible, mizzou, terrible etc.

Defense was legit though.

You are right that the game was blown by our DC, but Bennet was gone by then. It was Iowa reject Bob Elliot in 2002. Bret Bielma might have been listed as Co DC, but I always though that was more a courtesy than anything to keep him from moving on or to give him more money and that Elliot was calling the shots on D.

Vegas said we were the best team in the country in 2002.  Would've been favored over anybody.
