Author’s Note - This is the third in my string of summer stats columns, regular on Thursdays. Last week, I began a conversation about the role of randomness in turnovers, and promised a return to the topic next week. Unfortunately, someone was Wrong on the Internet, and so this week, I take a detour in the name of right.
As the summer continues, I’ll wander through some thoughts about football and analytics generally - “state of the game” kinds of things - and some more specific previews looking ahead to this fall, both in the Big 12 and around the NCAA.
