For those wanting more ammo against Sonny Cumbie, as I am on record for what I think needs to happen. Should have happened last year so we could have spent this year on growing pains of a freshman at the same time we worked through new system growing pains.
“Success Rate” in this model is based on how often you gain a percentage of the yardage needed for a first down on a given play, based on what down it is. 50% on 1st, 70% on 2nd, 100% on 3rd/4th. So “success” means a 5 yard pickup on 1st and 10, a 4 yard pickup on 2nd and 5, and a 1 yard gain on 3rd and 1, etc.
We only ran 7 offensive plays in Q4. That’s a LUDICROUSLY small sample size. To suggest that a 5 yard gain on 1st and a 4 yard gain on 2nd (giving us “success” on 2 of 7 plays, or 29%) might’ve “gotten the job done” for us is equally ludicrous.

The writing was all over the wall after last year. No changes. This was the year that it was supposed to really take off. Best defense in GP's time. QB play was a bit of a question mark, but we were supposedly loaded elsewhere even though we lost two top tier DEs. Mathis was supposedly perhaps the best DE to ever come through the program. His second year here. What a waste of a year for our team.
I have never been so disappointed in our program, and frankly hold little hope if there are not some big changes with our staff and program direction.
Yep. Our starting QB (Delton) turned out to be a complete bust. DEs have been awful despite the talk, LBs have been pretty bad. Secondary has oftentimes been more confused than ever (with seniors being the most confused).
OL is a gigantic disappointment with how many returning starters, WRs really can't get worse, RBs don't have much of a chance. I think the play of the year that defines our offense was the screen pass we had set for Sewo where it was WIDE OPEN to the left side with three TCU OL and one OU player. All three OL whiff and the one OU player makes the tackle for a three yard loss. That play goes 20+ yards for OU.
And somehow we've won 5 games and were within one score of winning 5 other games. This has been a really weird year. I see our team play and we just look so bad so often, but when you simply look at game results we really can't be THAT bad, there have to be some areas of the team that are better than given credit for.

I understand how the stat works and agree that it is a small sample size. Are you aware of any particular reason the sample size is so small?“Success Rate” in this model is based on how often you gain a percentage of the yardage needed for a first down on a given play, based on what down it is. 50% on 1st, 70% on 2nd, 100% on 3rd/4th.

Who the hell was saying that Mathis would be our best DE ever?The writing was all over the wall after last year. No changes. This was the year that it was supposed to really take off.

I believe GMFP was quoted as saying he had that potential...Who the hell was saying that Mathis would be our best DE ever?

Well he's got 3 more years I guess so we'll see. Maybe he'll have like 15 sacks next year.uh....gary
"During a radio interview on 88.7 FM KTCU last fall, Patterson said that Mathis could be the best defensive end to ever play at TCU by the time his college playing career is over."
link to the article sourcing the quote, sorry, but i wasn't up to footnoting it.....
