Here is the RER for the MTSU game with season RERs in parentheses.



Lasike: -200 (-24.93)

Pritchard: 133.60

Apo: 179.80 (107.71) - his highest game since GT last year

Falslev: 326.80 (147.31)

Ridley: 205.00 (72.96)

Matthews: 231.60 (107.34)

Thompson: 226.00 (135.33)

Thornton: 150.40 (18.80) - his first catch after 7 incomplete targets



RBs: -33.20 (40.58)

WRs: 209.20 (92.81) - highest for this group since I started counting them by position groups.

TEs: 150.67 (90.22)



- Opponents are converting 25.7% on 3rd down. The previous best 3rd down defense for Bronco was last year at 26.5%.



- On 3rd & Long (7 or more), opponents have converted 2 of 35 opportunities. BYU has converted on 10 of 40.



- BYU has 1229 rushing yards through four games. The previous best four-game start was 629 in 2002. (At least as far back as my data goes at this point, which 1995).



- BYU's previous best 4-game stretch was 1,113 yards rushing during the 1996 season.



- BYU had 3 (or 5 - depending how you want to count the saftey) points off of turnovers this year. At this pace, it will be BYU's fewest points off turnovers by a wide margin. The previous fewest under Bronco was 69 in 2007.



- The team with the better PER has now won 24 of the last 26 games.



- BYU's PER vs Middle Tennessee was 141. 41. The Cougars have not lost a game when meeting the 135 PER standard since losing to Florida St in 2009 with a 169.29 PER.



- BYU is 54-4 (.931) when meeting the 135 PER standard.



- BYU's 9 turnovers and 32 penalties may seem ,like a lot. But BYU started with 36 & 9 in 2012; 21 & 11 in 2011; 28 & 12 in 2009; 38 & 10 in 2007 and 33 & 10 in 2005. Penalties and turnovers to start a season has be a recurring theme under Bronco. Even 2006 started with 34 & 6.



- Opponents are averaging 6.5 3-and-outs per game. The previous best under Bronco was 4.9 last year. (I'm defining a 3-and-out as a series that ends before three plays run on a turnover or 3 plays and a punt. So the safety last night, counts as a 3-and-out, in my book).

Spiff, you are a better read than Greg Wrubel! I am a stats junky...to read 'em anyway. I think you should send these on to Bronco...and Greg for that matter. It would be interesting to see if Greg would add it to Cougartracks!



Go Cougs!!!

I'd be more interested in the number of offensive penalties as a ratio to plays run, rather than per game.
