Willie Fritz, analytics, NC State, and the hurricane game against Notre Dame

Related Topics: Willie Fritz

Since little of note is happening in NC State camp right now (and hey, a quiet camp is by no means a bad thing), I did some wandering through the news, which is how I found this article about Tulane head coach Willie Fritz and how he became an analytics convert because of one play in 2014.

That play came in a loss to NC State while Fritz was the head coach at Georgia Southern. He kicked a field goal late in the game on a 4th-and-short, which put his team up 23-17 ... and the Eagles lost, 24-23, as you probably remember.
