This is a comparision of games since we joined the Big East against BCS opponents (both conference and OOC): Coach...................................................................Leavitt......................................Holtz Total Record vs BCS teams ................................23-24........................................7-13 Avg Win Margin..................................................+17.1 pts..................................+6.1 pts Avg Loss Margin................................................ -13.6 pts...................................-9.0 pts % of games decided by >= 7pts...........................29.8%........................................65% % of games decided by 20+ pts...........................31.9%........................................15% Found a few things interesting: - We had more blowouts (win or lose) under Leavitt than we had close games (win or lose) - I forgot how much 2010 was 2011's polar opposite, as all 5 of our victories against BCS level teams were by 8 pts or less The numbers do bear out that Holtz's conservative approach does deliver on the close games (13 in just 2 years, verse 14 in 5 years under Leavitt). The problem with that is though, under either coach, we've never been good in close games with a total record of 9-18 in games decided by 7 pts or less. Just some fun stats for the day.

We have to find out a way to close games. Holtz helps keep us in the game, but the players are the ones who need to make the clutch plays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holtz helps keep us in the game, but the players are the ones who need to make the clutch plays that's the problem with close games. there is no margin for errors and as we all know we're not known for being a disciplined team that limits errors.

I think we had too many men on the field several times on their final drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The conservative play with emphasis on defense worked last year for the Men's basketball team, why cant it work now? We just have to find a way to put it together at the end. Holtz needs to talk to Heath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
