irafreak Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 If I missed it, I apologize but has anyone looked at the amount of plays run per game at UCF compared to the past Riley teams? I would think the more plays you run, the higher odds of committing turnovers. Quote Link to comment

Jeepy Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 They used to be ahead enough, having the ability to score on defense as well as having the ability to score a lot offensively, that the penalties didn't hurt that much, exasperating as penalties always are. That was in the old days. Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted October 23, 2018 Author Share Posted October 23, 2018 I saw Sam McKewon allude to this on Twitter just before the game on Saturday. Finally got around to looking into it. He noted that Saturday was the first time this year Nebraska had played a "green" QB. The inference being the previsous QBs we've played had quite a bit of experience and, presumably, were less mistake-prone which allowed our opponents an advantage over the mistake-prone teams we were fielding. Here's the breakdown: Colorado - Montez - Started a few games in 2016, full-time starter in 2017 Troy - Barker - Played sparingly in 2016 & 2017 but had a bunch of experience compared to our starter that day (no pun intended) Michigan - Patterson - Started the last three games in 2016 and the first 7 games in 2017 (Ole Miss) Purdue - Blough - Four-year starter Wisconsin - Hornibrook - Played extensively in 2016, full-time starter in 2017 Northwestern - Thorson - Four-year starter Quote Link to comment

We know our schedule is one of the toughest. How is our opposing QB experience compared to other teams? Quote Link to comment

How is our opposing QB experience compared to other teams? Good point. I have no idea. If I were to guess, I would think the first three games were probably pretty average - mostly played against QBs that had started the previous year. But I would think the last three games - two four-year starters and basically a three-year started - would be a fair amount above average. Quote Link to comment
