Kingsbury May Deliver Future Stat Nerds Want for NFL
Steven Ruiz at For The Win has put together a phenomenal look at what Kliff Kingsbury's offense looked like in college and how it will translate into the NFL. It's more than just spreading the field with multiple receivers and throwing a dozen passes in a row. Ruiz includes lots of tidbits from Sports Info Solutions on Texas Tech's scheme:
"Texas Tech ran the ball out of 10 personnel 199 times (NFL teams ran out of 10p only 79 times in 2018) for an average of 4.6 yards-per-carry, which ranked fourth among Power 5 schools."
"Among Power 5 teams, only Michigan State passed the ball more often on second-and-long (eight or more yards to go) than Texas Tech did in 2018."
