It's the fourth year of the #BigDataBowl (sponsored by AWS), and we're ready to tackle the third phase of football - Special Teams.
The goal of this year's event is to learn what makes for valuable special teams play -- what players execute best? What strategies lead to success?

Here's a look at Big 12 Rushers by the length of their rushes. YPC and EPA/Carry are great ways to boil everything down to a single number but they can be influenced by a couple of 80 yard flukes. Grouping by rush length lets us see the distribution of outcomes for each RB.

Big ups to our guy @StevenPlai and the rest of the Sooners team on their win at the @CuseAnalytics Football Blitz. And a big thank you to the program for putting together a great competition and encouraging the young ones to work on their data problem solving skills.

Thanks for the shoutout, Brendan! And thanks to @CFB_Data, who did a lot of the heavy lifting on making college football data open and accessible.
We are excited to see how college football analytics continues to grow, and look forward to all the great work ahead!

Not wild about dataviz but did it really fast just to satisfy my curiosity. Even in the college game passing on early downs > rushing and passing to non RB's > passing to RB's #CollegeFootball #CFB

Top 100 High School Signees 2017-2021 by ACC Division.
You don't realize how many teams in the ACC have similar colors until you try to make a graph readable 😅

So I thought this was interesting: Same model (controlling things QB can't control), but success = 1, so we're looking for explosiveness. Justin Herbert and Patrick Mahomes saw bumps, while Mitch Trubisky fell #NFLTwitter #NFLDraft

Decided to add rushing and tweaked some fixed effects in my QB model. Heres how the notable QB's from the 2016-2020 Draft classes stacked up in college #CollegeFootball #NFLTwitter

I'll have more recruiting content coming in the next few weeks but one thing I've been working on is my Recruiting Radiuses graphic. Its a measure of how far a school needs to go to get 25%, 50%, and 75% of its recruits over time
