Howdy Ags and welcome back to Fun With Numbers, brought to you by the only Aggie left who hasn’t been blocked by Olin Buchanan, the spiritual leader of TexAgs. In these posts, I try to borrow from the SP+, FEI, and other advanced statistical metrics to talk about Aggie football. Sometimes those numbers lead to unearned optimism and sometimes it brings about unnecessary pessimism, so it kind of mirrors the Aggie fanbase in that way I guess.
If you’re not familiar with the advanced metrics above (or phrases like “Success Rate”, “Explosiveness”, etc.) please check out the glossary here, and come back when you’re all learned up.
