Stats and film review are two of the best ways to analyze a football game.
They tell us how efficient a team is on either side of the ball, they track player performance and on film we can see how well players executed their assignments on a given play.
For example, when Eastern Kentucky blocked Kentucky’s first punt of the game, we can look back at the film and see the EKU player that blocked the punt, Cornelius Evans, ran past Paul Rodriguez without any form of resistance in order to get to Wilson Berry.
