@solofeat Please understand that a lot of times, stats are just stats. They're not predictions, they're not anything. They're just stats.

Bruce Branch III an early standout for USA at U18s. Textbook wing tools, promising stroke, good off-ball activity and athleticism for play-finishing.

@1280Josh Only 5 players before 2003 completed at least 70% of their passes (min. 300 attempts).

Steve Young was the first to do it, completing 71.3% in 1983. He had 33 TDs and 10 INTs, so he narrowly missed the original criteria.

[CougarStats @CougarStats]

The goals ARod set for Bear this year are:

Over 70% completion percentage
At least 30 TDs
Fewer than 10 INTs

Only 31 QBs in history have ever accomplished all 3 in a season.

@DurrantMark Good news: You get to draft AJ.

When Mike Leach was an undergraduate student at BYU, he would sit in on meetings with LaVell Edwards and Norm Chow.

He went to Law School and earned his JD before coaching football in Finland in the late 1980's.

He always did it his way. He was a maverick. A free thinker. Far ahead of his time.

He's a Hall of Famer in my book.

@Bluethruandthru @jeremiah__hale It’s just something I track on my own.

In 2025, Indiana once again demonstrated that Pass Efficiency Differential (PED) wins championships. Over the last 25 seasons, no team has been worse than 12th in this statistic and won the national championship. This includes:

32% were 1st in PED
56% were in the top 3
78% were in the top 5

Pete Bevacqua is absolutely correct about maximizing media value with a Super League (something he made clear he opposes).

One huge problem: powerhouse college fan bases are built to expect 10, 11, 12 or more victories every year. In this case, some big names are going to go 2-10. It's the same way it is in the NFL.

Do the fans stay? Losing NFL teams see drops in tickets and revenue. Georgia-Alabama is a big television event when both teams are good. If one, or both, are bad?

And why would major programs want a new world where they are almost assured to be less successful than in the past -- winning is also about donations, applications, alumni, etc.

It works in the NFL because the system is then set up for the worst teams to be advantaged through the draft (and scheduling). Eventually bad teams get good (it takes longer for some, i.e. the Jets).

College football doesn't have that. In recruiting and free agency, the best players generally go to the best teams (even in the NIL-era). More donations come in to the better teams.

So could a Super League really even work in college football?

[CougarStats @CougarStats]

@jaromjordan It would be interesting to see hard numbers around this, but I would say Bear was extraordinarily good over the middle for any QB, let alone a freshman QB.

What do you think of our top 10 cornerbacks in college football?

[CougarStats @CougarStats]

@BYUSportsNation Part of that is also being able to give Bear enough time to throw with the lethal Texas Tech pass rush.

I think the Georgia Tech game, with a bum Bear ankle, showed that he's ready to be a true dual threat QB, who can beat you either way.
