Miami Postgame

And yet, they have a positive success rate, while ours is negative.

Still don't get this.....

It's just a measure of consistency

Offensive success rate is "staying on schedule" down to down. Defensive success rate is forcing the other guys to not "stay on schedule" down to down.

Successful plays:
1st Down: Gains at least 50% of the yards needed for a first down (e.g., gaining 5+ yards on 1st-and-10).
2nd Down: Gains at least 70% of the yards needed for a first down (e.g., gaining 7+ yards on 2nd-and-10).
3rd & 4th Down: Gains 100% of the yards needed for a first down or a touchdown.

So, Miami was more consistent down to down, and thus had a higher Net Success rate.

It's just a neat wrinkle that that happened and ND won anyway due to other factors.

Seeing a seething Cristobal brings me immense joy. The guy is a hardo loser - maybe worse than Narduzzi.
