OK.....I keep seeing people regurgitate statements and theories but instead of pulling things out of the air, the best thing to do is look at the actual numbers....this way, we can have the theories explained on why the defense was (allegedly) so good last year and suddenly it's no Eugene or Jay Young as the reasons why it's not...???
Here's the FG shooting last year.
FDU 23 -63
Drexel 25- 59
St John's 28- 60
EMich. 15- 54
Boston U. 18-54
Miami. 22- 63
Mich State 27- 58
Wisconsin. 29- 54
Fordham. 25- 53
Seton Hall. 20- 49
Columbia. 27- 61
Maine. 20- 46
Maryland. 28-58
Ohio State. 23- 58
Minnesota. 29- 58
Purdue. 32- 64
Northwest. 21- 53
Nebraska 25- 60
Penn State. 20- 57
Indiana. 21- 60
Ohio State. 27- 51
Michigan. 26- 58
Illinois. 36- 73
NWestern. 20- 55
Iowa. 25- 54
Mich State. 22- 55
Minnesota. 23- 54
Iowa. 20- 56
Penn State. 26- 66
Indiana. 31- 58
Nebraska. 21- 52
Yesterday's game shooting was 29-59 by Bona....which looks like a good amount of the games last year....the games where RU allowed opponents to shoot over 45%.
St John's, Michigan State, Wisconsin Fordham, Columbia, Maryland, Minnesota, Purdue, Ohio State, Michigan, Illinois, Iowa and Indiana.
We played 31 games last year....in 13 of the 31 games, teams shot over 45% from the field....5 of the 13 were at 50% or over 50%......the team won 1 of those 13 games.....Jay Young was here coaching defense...Eugene was also here playing defense (I think....)
13-31 games isn't half....but pretty close to half the games last year....BUT apparently it involved this defense that somehow either I'm missing or will be more than half the games this season.
OR
But, of course, when someone says something about the defense missing Eugene or Jay Young and that's (supposedly) what happened last year, it absolutely must be true....even if there's no supporting evidence.....
