    Bill Connelly's SP+ bullish on the Canes

    100%. It'll be written a million times from now till then, but I'll say it with y'all. Coastal or he can't win here and it's time to turn our backs. And it's time, right now, because there are a lot of 2022 and 2023 kids who are waiting to see what we do on the field. The way you truly win...

    Bill Connelly's SP+ bullish on the Canes

    But it's harder to score points from worse starting field position, which is what the discussion is centered around. The only stats an offense would be racking up if they have more field to cover is total yards, and nobody looks at yards per game on offense as an indicative stat. If you have...

    Bill Connelly's SP+ bullish on the Canes

    EXACTLY!! I looked at it a little more, and it's definitely insane. There is a punt efficiency metric, which is basically averages of where you punt from vs where the opposition gets the ball. As you can imagine, we excelled in that area. #3 in the country, because of the pro punter we have...

    Bill Connelly's SP+ bullish on the Canes

    None taken, and none directed towards you as well, and I say this in the least ****est way possible, but if this is how you feel, don't read it. And I don't blame you. Nobody hoists an SP+ trophy at the end of the year. But it's February 9th. We won't hit a field for anything to be proven on...

    Bill Connelly's SP+ bullish on the Canes

    Christ, yes. Sorry. Long week.... 6 and 8. Drops Wiggins and Muff Pope. My bad.

    Bill Connelly's SP+ bullish on the Canes

    7 and 8 were abysmal. 3, while not a high NFL talent, certainly was not. Add Rambo to the mix, I would be very surprised if it winds up being abysmal, but i certainly see your point and can respect a wait and see attitude. This really all depends on hitting on someone beyond 3, 7, 8, and...

    Bill Connelly's SP+ bullish on the Canes

    The offense was pretty good last year.....at times very good, and at times not nearly good enough, but overall you have to say it was a pretty good offense. Every single coach is back for Year 2, and Year 1 (breaking in a new staff) was severely abbreviated due to Covid. So Year 1 was really...

    Bill Connelly's SP+ bullish on the Canes

    Agreed. He knows Manny well and speaks very highly of him as a defensive coach. And I know you’re not saying this, but we have some really shockingly unintelligent people here so I wanna be sure it’s conveyed correctly, there is no Miami bias in numbers (or any other team). It’s just data. But...

    Bill Connelly's SP+ bullish on the Canes

    In his tweet he highlighted some of the eye-openers and his exact words were "Miami (gulp)". Just meaning, he's apprehensive, as most people are when they see that name that high.

    Bill Connelly's SP+ bullish on the Canes

    You honestly think Bama shows up? I'd be shocked if they actually play the game. They have to think about their kids' health for the SEC season, first and foremost. My best guess is they forfeit, and ESPN just broadcasts our offense playing our defense in Atlanta.

    Bill Connelly's SP+ bullish on the Canes

    He does often mention that his metrics usually like Miami very much.

    Bill Connelly's SP+ bullish on the Canes

    Bill Connelly released his preseason SP+ rankings this morning, with as many of the transfers and roster changes as possible incorporated so far. It makes sense that he's high on Miami given that a big part of his rankings take returning production into account, and I posted a thread last week...
