Back in 2018, I did some work on breakout age for running backs. Unfortunately, my methodology was flawed, and I ended up finding no real value-added for determining when a collegiate RB breakout age. RB breakout Age was not a factor in my initial machine-learning RB model posted in March.
But I am not one to quit so easily. I did some additional research, and have come up with a new, better way to identify RB breakouts. You may recall, from the initial model, that adjusted yards per team offensive play was a major factor. Using that as a basis for breakouts proved to be incredibly strong.
