TAKODA Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Nice read. I believe Iowa is pretty disciplined so penalties could definitely be a major factor in this upcoming game! Nebraska for the season is ranked 98th with an average of 63.3 yards worth of penalties per game. (Last 3 games) = 36.7 Iowa is ranked 50th with an average of 51.4 per game. (Last 3 games) = 52.7 The average number of penalties per game are as follows: Iowa: 5.3 per game (Last 3 games) = 5.3 as well Nebraska: 7.3 (Last 3 games) = 4.7 https://www.teamrankings.com/college-football/stat/penalty-yards-per-game Quote Link to comment

This is part of the Iowa argument that I think some folks miss. They're a disciplined team, too. Currently No. 55 overall in penalties while the Huskers are No. 97 for the season. That said, both are playing sound football at the right time. Quote Link to comment

zoogs Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 There's been a big downturn in penalties lately. It's what any team is working for, so when they can achieve it, it's worthy of recognition. Quote Link to comment
Roger Dorn Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Solid read and a very good point about penalties and discipline. The argument could be made that this is also due to the 'buying-in' from the players, more attention to detail and effort will lead to fewer penalties. FYI, the article says when Iowa comes to town the Saturday after thanksgiving, should be Friday. 2 Quote Link to comment

Anyone know the multi-year data on this? 5 or 10 years? Not exactly what you asked for but a decent article on the subject. TLDR version is that the correlation between penalties and W/L is pretty weak http://www.teamspeedkills.com/2010/8/27/1653619/penalties-dont-matter-much 1 Quote Link to comment

Here's the picture's worth a thousand words evidence, from old dom's (hee) source Yeah, its a subject that gets a ton of traction for some reason. "Team x plays disciplined football, they are one of the least penalized teams. They are well coached" etc. etc. However, the analytics sights have broken it down ad neasum. The number of penalties has very little correlation to wins and losses. In my opinion (which I have absolutely no data to back-up), I think the topic gets talked about a lot becuase one, single penalty can be very memorable in an end-of game situation. See Michigan State. One fan base in pissed off, the other says "sh#t happens", and around around we go. However, a penalty rarely actually decides a football game. There are 140 or so other plays. The team that is better the other 139 plays will more than likely win the game. That's a good point. I may be in the minority of fans who think this, but IMO a game is never decided by one play or one penalty ever, even if it comes down to the final play of the game as time expires. People just tend to focus on it because it's the lasting impression, kind of as you talked about. Really, there are opportunities all over the field to make a difference in an outcome.
