How much does losing a star player (especially QB) either before the season or early in the season affect a team’s psyche? Sep 14, 2023

Show notes

-Bill has been a coach for a long time in college football and has seen injuries before the season and early in the season for key players…what’s the practice field like and psyche in general after it happens?

-This, of course, stems from the conversation for the NY Jets with the loss of Aaron Rodgers in his very first drive as QB of the team. Many had them as a Super Bowl contender and now they certainly aren’t

A national sportswriter has a stat that won’t make Husker fans feel better about Jeff Sims and the outlook going forward for him Sep 13, 2023

Show notes

-CBS Sports’ Tom Fornelli wrote yesterday about the challenge that Matt Rhule faces this year in his first season at Nebraska, and how most of it comes down to QB play---which we have all seen so far

-Fornelli said he has a stat he follows himself, called the “Whoopsy Daisy Rate”—which tracks how often a QB puts the ball in danger. The stat is formulated taking the number of fumbles (both lost and retained), and interceptions…and divide by amount of PLAYS on the field for

-The stat shows that Sims had the 2nd worst rate in the country while at Georgia Tech over a 3-year span. Which, again, begs the question of how Sims was the target all along in the portal
