I would be interesting to see what the number would be if we remove HCU and Akron.

Again, it's not like most other teams haven't play an overmatched opponent or two.

I'm not sure if this is exactly the data they're using. But according to PFF, Raiola's Time to Throw when Under Pressure has been:

• Cincinnati - 3.81 (9 dropbacks, 5 attempts)
• Akron - 4.83 (4 dropbacks, 3 attempts)
• Houston Christian - 4.65 (4 dropbacks, 3 attempts)
• Michigan - 3.70 (22 dropbacks, 15 attempts)
• Michigan State - 4.05 (10 dropbacks, 4 attempts)

I get 3.96 when I put all that together, which is what PFF shows for the season (using total dropbacks). So I'm not sure what is adjusted to get 4.12. But removing Akron and HC, I get 3.80. So not much of a change, mainly because of the few amount of attempts in those games.

That seems like plenty of time... which is likely why we have such strong passing numbers. I think as fans we are mentally focusing on some of the bad plays against Michigan where the Oline looked terrible. I know I am guilty of it.

You mean we are supposed to look at all of the data?! Not just the bad plays? Darn it.
