Hey guys...

this doesn't seem organic, maybe try it again some other time, maybe with an apology

Hey guys...

How many yards are we going to get on the ground against Bowling Green? 300? 400? A Bagillion?

[kso_FAN]

_Fan was always so good at talking me off of/on to the ledge.  I mean, if Steve Dave says we suck, I'm just like "meh".  If _Fan says we suck though 

I don't think we suck. I thoroughly enjoyed game 1 of the Klieman era.

The offensive display was much better than I anticipated. I looked into the Messy offense before the season and I had some apprehension. He definitely passed the test. Using a bunch of formations and personnel, a highly efficient offense (65% success rate before garbage time, better than any game last year), and some really nice games from Sky and the backs. I want to see some more big plays in the passing game and our receivers not to drop passes.

Defensively we were solid. A couple forced TOs and a havoc rate of 25%, pretty good. The one drive after halftime wasn't ideal, but overall I liked what I saw.

Also, no big plays on special teams and a missed FG. Brooks almost broke one I guess, but I still want to see big special teams plays.

I'm guessing around 300. Maybe not as many on the ground, hopefully more through the air.

It was impressive to run for that against Nicholls (even if they are only FCS) when they were still putting 8 or more in the box to stop the run.

I would like to hear more about our cat havoc rate 

[DQ12]

@kso_FAN are you putting out the five factors stuff you did last year?  Are Connelly's team profiles available? 

[kso_FAN]

I would like to hear more about our cat havoc rate 

Havoc Rate is tackles for loss (including sacks), forced fumbles, pass break ups, and interceptions divided by total defensive snaps. A pretty cool stat IMO from Bill Connelly. Last year K-State finished at 13% which ranked like 100 or so in the country.

I'm not sure how I'm going to do that. Connelly's team stuff or advanced boxes are not available this year since he jumped to ESPN.

This is now my favorite stat.

'clams, can we get a chant mocked up for our new havoc hellraisers?

You referenced havoc rate.  I'm curious how you calculated that...My eyeballs told me our pass rush was kind of lacking on Saturday night -- where are you finding havoc or are you calculating that on your own?

EDIT: Nevermind, i just saw your post above spelling out what Havoc actually is.  I assumed it was strictly backfield stuff.

Also, I will be at Fatty Fest this year, going for the 3 peat....

My own calculation.

[meow meow]

was disappointed we didnt' have any sacks after our d-line has been talking all offseason about being the best d-line in the conference.  Nicholls getting the ball out too quick to combat this rush or is our rush maybe not as good as we thought?

Well I hope you trademarked that so someone doesn't steal it and plaster it all over stuff.

It worked!

This is what I'm talking about.  One brief _Fanalysis and I'm completely chill.

Fan, can you break down how much we have used A gap power? NDSU was entirely built around A gap power, I think we're the exact same play book.

This is what I have charted for the year in non-garbage snaps, so 17% of the snaps. From what I've seen (I charted 3 NDSU games last year) we are using a big more inside zone and outside power stuff (G power, power sweep, counter trey) than the NDSU offense.

[eastcat]

Interesting,

Still, 1 in 5 runs is A gap power. Kleiman said at the press conference Monday they will be installing more of the offense this bye-week. Will be interesting to see what changes.

goEMAW getting our mojo back.
