Jarrett Lee's Final Act
Jarrett Lee is our starting quarterback. Heaven help us. I actually like Lee. I've always liked Lee. Don't believe me? Here's what I wrote about Lee in 2008, back when most LSU fans were hanging the poor freshman in effigy... I'll be honest. Jarrett Lee is becoming one of my favorite...
Behind the Numbers: LSU v UNC
Once again, we take a closer look at the box score to look at those numbers which made a difference in the game. 2 - Number of carries by a running back not named Stevan Ridley. So much for the running back by committee. Ridley clearly is the team's #1 as the coaches only gave Murphy two carries...
Stay Positive: Using ATVSQBPI2 to Rate a Sophomore QB's Second Year
We talk a lot around these parts that there's no need to panic over Jordan Jefferson. He's just a sophomore, and sophomore quarterbacks tend to improve. Of course, we say that and it feels like it should be true, but I started to ask myself: is that really true? So I went on over to the...
ATVS Quarterback Productivity Index 2: Electric Bugaloo
I wanted to look back over the past few years to see how sophomore QB's have performed in the SEC in contrast to their junior year. The idea, at least, was to look at some actual data of how SEC QB's have performed in their second year after being thrust into a starting role as an underclassman. ...
Jordan Jefferson Then and Now
Jordan Jefferson is a guy I really wish would have had the opportunity to redshirt last year and be a backup QB this year, learning from the comfort and safety of the clip board. He is still so very young and came to LSU as a relatively inexperienced project. He had missed the bulk of his junior...
ATVSQBPI: Week 5
Week 5 saw the numbers for quarterbacks decline just a little, but we're still seeing an upward trend relative to last season. As a reminder, ATVSQBPI is calculated by the following formula (yards passing + yards rushing + 20*touchdowns passing + 20*touchdowns rushing - 30*interceptions)/(passing...
ATVSQBPI: Week 4
Once again, the trend continues of the SEC's quarterback numbers improving drastically over last year. In 2008, an ATVSQBPI of 6.0 yards per touch would have been considered firmly in the top half of the conference, while a 7.0 yards per touch would have been at near elite status. This year, a...
ATVSQBPI: Week 3 and Season To Date
For those of you just starting to read ATVS, we have been keeping track of a statistical index for quarterbacks that we think improves upon the traditional passer rating by a) being more intuitively clear what the numbers mean (it's measured in yards per play) b) weighting touchdowns and...
