Dr Z Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 His philosophy has long been and will continue to be the same. "Defense wins championships," Terry continued. "I would hope we would be relentless on defense." With former NC State head coach and long-time FSU assistant Chuck Amato recently being named defensive coordinator, Bowden might has brought a proven veteran and family friend in to lead that side of the football. Amato's Wolfpack led the nation in total defense and 2004 CBS's Clark Judge agrees with coach Bowden Can the Pats be the first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CincyZip Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 It is so exciting to think of a fast pace offense like Terry Bowdens along with a rough, tough defense of Chuck Amato. I know it is going to take a couple years, but it just seems like everything is going to be OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amato's Wolfpack led the nation in total defense and 2004 For anyone who thinks Coach Bowden's comments are merely lip-service, take a look at this column he wrote for Yahoo! sports. It's a statistical breakdown of top ten teams, and his analysis of the most important categories/stats. There is also a link in the article to a mor comprehensive spreadsheet, where you can plug your own team in and compare to the too 10 teams. Granted, this is from 2007, but I'll bet there hasn't been much change. Coach Bowden has an Accounting Degree and a Law Degree - he may sound a little hillbilly with all the ya'lls and dadgummits....but he is a VERY intelligent guy.

GP1 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 That's a really cool chart. Turnovers are hugely important in a game and the chart really brings it to light. I'd be interested in an in depth study of turnovers, how they happen (fumble or int), results in the types, downs ints tend to happen on, down and distances on ints, etc. Ints are more complex than fumbles, but what do they turn into is the question? I don't know that and would like to know it. Fumbles are less complex and the worst type of turnover because in almost every case, it is negligence on the part of the ball carrier.

Dave in Green Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 I love that article. The real Dr Z does not love articles about statistical analysis. You, sir, are an imposter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More important than turnover margin, or offensive turnovers, is turnovers GAINED. The defense must force turnovers in order to play top level football. I just looked at Akron's 2011 stats (ouch!) and one of the most glaring stats is that we only intercepted our opponents TWICE all season. I guarantee THAT statistical category will be different this year - T-Buck must be chomping at the bit to start coaching these guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP1 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Cold Hard Football Facts This is an interesting web site on NFL stats. Even though we are a college team, I'm sure some of the general statistical trends apply to college. For example, a team that has no turnovers is 80% likely to win an NFL game. One interception and that number goes down to 60%. Two interceptions and the number goes down to 40%. Three and you are finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the trend is even more exaggerated on the road in the playoffs. They win that game yesterday easily without all the interceptions!
