Welcome to Fun With Numbers, my weekly attempt to preview the Aggies’ upcoming gridiron matchup using advanced statistics. I’ve been writing these for something like 4 or 5 years now (first as Fan Posts and then officially as blogs in 2019), and between the people genuinely interested in what the numbers say and people who just like to look at the colored charts and say, “Neat.”, there seems to be enough interest to keep me coming back.
But you might be new here, or maybe you’ve just forgotten how all this works. Either way, the first game of the season is a great time to dive into the different terminology we use here and what these posts typically look like.
