Spurrier has always been a weak teacher of the hold-and-strip. Mathematically speaking, of course.

As you run further regressions you will come to find out it is the visor, always the visor…

I know you folks don’t like “Math” but South Carolina is 119th in the nation in defensive fumble recovery percentage. It’s not consistent year to year. It’s a product of luck.

No the other 118 schools ahead of them have better “drills” and practice the “strip sack” more…

The Giants didn’t go to the Super Bowl because great coaching and technique caused the 49ers to fumble. They went because Kyle Williams dropped two punts. It happens.

Lol.

What percentage of luck would you ascribe to each team?

33% luck, 33% talent, 33% coaching. And 1% “that certain something”.

This site’s subtle hatred of KSU should bring me more joy than it does.

Taking the wildcats +4 this weekend in Morgantown. Shoot out will definitely ensue and couches will be burning!

Just another K-State TheBigLead hit piece. Sad really.

Pretty sure Football Outsiders have a really good series about this. There is a lot of randomness even inside of a program from year to year in CFB.

Kyle Williams didn’t “drop” any punts. One punt hit him in the leg (which was boneheaded yes) and the other one was punched out by Jaquan Williams of the Giants. But let’s just keep saying he dropped them.

Every single QB is taught how to be more accurate. So why are some more or less successful when it comes to throwing INTs?

Damn, you’re not good at anything.

Kyle Williams dropped two punts because he’s not a punt returner.

Those two dropped punts had nothing to do with “great defensive coaching.” The causation wasn’t “the Giants have great fumble-forcers.” We can’t infer anything about the Giants’ ability or inability to cause fumbles from those fumbles. There are dozens of other factors, including that Williams isn’t a punt returner. That’s my point.

Fumbles are impactful plays that can decide football games.
