Interesting how today in college sports and professional sports we are so stuck on statistics and analytics that sometimes we lose the beauty of the game. While I was working at BYUtv, I would often hear people on the broadcast crew discussing how if a quarterback threw in between a certain range of yards on third down on the far side of the field it would be converted over 70% of the time. It was sort of annoying at times because took the beauty of the game.
While these statistics may be true and interesting, are we taking it too far?
