Confused? Visit the Advanced Stats glossary here. Or just skip to the words. I won't be offended. (Okay, I'll only be a little offended.)
@SBN_BillC USF vs. FAU. If you document the best, you need to show the worst too. And we might be the worst BCS team of the entire era.

It is incredible how bad USF is at passing the ball. Against FAU, the Bulls went 9-for-25 passing with a touchdown, a pick, and three sacks. Average yards per pass attempt: 4.2. That is actually more than 3x better than the average against Michigan State -- improvement! -- but my goodness. It's perhaps worth it to point out that USF was really unlucky here, recovering zero of four fumbles in the game and watching FAU score twice on turnover returns. But ... guh. A 25 percent success rate passing? A 33 percent success rate on standard downs? I knew the offense would struggle, but I didn't know it was going to be laughably bad.
