Advanced Stats: Analyzing Florida State’s offensive success in the Dynasty Era, Part 1

Nine years ago, I wrote a fan post on this topic where I used statistical process control (SPC) charts to track how well the FSU defense was doing during the 2011 season against its opponents and how it compared to other FSU defenses going back to 2007. Many things have changed since then including the explosion in the use of analytics and, in my case, more knowledge on how to analyze data. Given this, and the uncertainty regarding the 2020 season, I thought it would be good to revisit this topic and take a longer view on how the FSU offense and defense has done since the start of the dynasty era in 1987.
