A question for you.
In your game modeling, how much do turnovers equate to in terms of yardage? Total yardage, like time of possession, can be misleading.

My memory is not so great anymore but I seem to remember a well known coach calling for a playoff system a few years ago.
Thank you much LB 99
YOU HAVE THE PERFECT RESPONCE THAT I WAS LOOKING FOR
First, I don't do any modeling. I make power ratings and then handicap based on injuries, match ups, etc.
There is no yardage equivalent to turnovers that I am aware of. However, someone told me years ago that a turnover is worth about 5 points. After reviewing many many box scores, I've found this to be generally true.
Example. Total yards and ypp were pretty even between psu and bsu but there was a turnover margin of 3. Add 15 pts to bsu score and it's 31-29. More reflective of the yardage. It doesn't always work, but often gets pretty close.
Maybe.....DESIRE
They are well tuned into aggressive play on both sides of the line. ND has an outstanding offensive line from their early development this yr to current.
….and the dumb **** walkon who got in the way of an official.
Nittany Lions are the only final four team without a transfer QB, plus Franklin has only had 4 starting QBs in his tenure at PSU, unheard of in today’s game.
Hack Trace, Cliff, and Drew.

Accurate but put the best OL and DLfrom the 3 you mentioned...on one team...
They have a front 7 that can smother offenses and that doesn't appear "flashy."
To me this is an old fashioned type 1 score game unless one team gets the turnover bug. Everything starts up front and they are talented and tough.
Nick Saban on one of his interviews before the playoffs said the very worst thing about a bye is no tackling at game speed. He stated that was the biggest thing in slow starts after a bye. Evidence seemed to support that claim.
Actually there have been 5 starting QBs during the Franklin era. Levis started one game during the 2020 season.
Yep. And now Penn State is the 2nd highest ranked/seeded team remaining in the playoff. I think the rankings were pretty good but the seeding needs to be tweaked. And go to 16 teams and eliminate byes.
As long as everyone on the Penn State side is healthy, I agree, it should be competitive. Good scheming and play calling will be essential.
He doesn’t count, he didn’t start the season but was a sub due to Cliff turnovers and then he did the same thing.

God damn it, do I need to explain every little statistics problem on this board? “Ah, how much change do I get back from a five if I buy something for $3.97? Ah, F it I’ll ask Jim.”
<in best Shelton Cooper voice> “Of course.”
not sure what I laugh at more, peoples' stupid math or Jim getting mad at it
As someone who’s on the front lines of this, I’ll tell you the answer is Lj getting mad at it.
I mean, very obviously I know 10% of 50 is 10.
Finebaum talked about how, if it was a Texas receiver and an ASU tackler, Texas would have gotten that targeting call upheld, because the SEC benefits from favoritism by officials, so not sure he's the SEC shill you think he is.
It's Jim's fault for being good at math.
Now you tell me. When I spoke to him the other day, he told me to bet the farm on Georgia moneyline.
Why not? Even if you only do OnlyFans, you can make a few bucks, I'm sure. If you need headshots, I've heard laKa provides them in the back of his plain white van with tinted windows.
In this case, no. It has been at least 2 weeks from their conf. championship games to their first playoff game, and in that time I think a lot of teams loose a bit of their sharpness
Ohio State, Penn State, Texas and Notre Dame are the final four. It's like the late '60s all over again.
When does Nixon just declare Texas the Champion?
Still bothers me to this day!!! To my grave it will bother me!!!
PSU beats ND. Texas somehow beats OSU. We beat Texas and all go a piss on Nixon’s grave. 
Saw on espn last night that PSU has the lowest odds to win the NATTY. 
. T
osu, ut, nd, and bama are all ahead of us. 
. Tosu, ut, nd, and bama are all ahead of us.
I’m in! What time do the lots open?PSU beats ND. Texas somehow beats OSU. We beat Texas and all go a piss on Nixon’s grave.
If somehow someway texas beats OSU we CRUSH Texas, I personally guarantee itPSU beats ND. Texas somehow beats OSU. We beat Texas and all go a piss on Nixon’s grave.
