Inside the Stats

Building off Trey's Sting Stats post, I wanted to post a great comment from RamblinRed on our proclivity to fumble. It's a great way to feel like we're actually getting better game by game.

by RamblinRed:

FWIW, if you look at it on a # carries per fumble it looks like it is getting better.

Jacksonville State

5 Fumbles, 61 offensive plays (12.2 per fumble), 46 rushing plays (9.2 per fumble)


Boston College

3 fumbles, 53 offensive plays (17.7), 40 rushing plays (13.3)


VT

3 fumbles, 59 offensive plays (19.7), 50 rushing (16.7)

Miss St

3 fumbles, 63 offensive plays (21.0), 54 rushes (18.0)


Looks like it is getting steadily better.

Graphs and anything with numbers confuse UGA fans. Because they think it's complicated, they have to insult us.

Just pat them on the head and tell them their a good dog and be on your way.

Man that is a really good chart, Scott. I missed it on the Hive. Hopefully the improvement continues, and I think it will.

The trend is especially good considering that we cleared the benches against MSU.
