Everyone has ways they find to do their job a little bit better than others around them.
For me, keeping track of all sorts of secondary and tertiary stats helps me spot trends that might otherwise go unnoticed —- or quantify those things I intuitively know to be true.
SEE RELATED:
What follows isn’t entirely everything related to a Maryland football game that I either track or consider worth tracking. For example, I keep the results of each third and fourth down play on offense (with down and distance) to refer to at later times.
There is a dearth of defensive stats for now, and I’m working to fix that by the time next week rolls around. Certainly, one chart I’ll want to track is defensive performance on third and fourth downs. Look for that in the Middle Tennessee game as well.
Another thing tracked but not included this week is special teams units. I got a good look at most of them, but would like a second set of plays before rolling out a list to make sure the list is actually correct.
Occasionally, a few other categories will pop up as needed, and I’d certainly welcome any suggestions. But hopefully, this will offer something of substance that can’t be found anywhere else.
Because if that’s the case, then I’ve done my job.
