20 min 9 sec ago	Isn't that more of a 3 and 1	Isn't that more of a 3 and 1 solution?  Doesn't seem like that is the crux of the problem.
25 min 37 sec ago	Not really sure total team	Not really sure total team experience is the best measure.  Alabama gets 4/5 star talent, turns them into pros that leave college early and reloads (or jettison's the talent that doesn't develop).  I'd expect them to be young as an overall team.   Washington is the only team that hasn't been a top tier team ought of that group.  Interestingly, they had far and away the most experience.

3 hours 31 min ago	Seems inconsistent to say	Seems inconsistent to say Speight had all spring, summer and fall to work with his WRs and TEs but then say Lewerke "only started 2 games".  Is it practice time or game experience with your teammates that matters?
5 hours 18 min ago	Seems like you missed the	Seems like you missed the point of this thread.  Yes, Speight has, at times, looked bad.  But he is part of a larger system and things like wide receiver experience have been found to have an impact on offsensive efficiency.   Rudock looked bad at the start of the '15 season.  When the offense setttled down and he got familiar with, and began trusting, the folks around him, he looked a lot better.

18 hours 20 min ago	Nice straw dog. One	Nice straw dog. One impacting another is not the same as one completely causing the other.

21 hours 52 min ago	Speight's performance and the	Speight's performance and the performance of the rest of the youthful offense are connected.  One impacts the other.
1 day 25 min ago	I agree that the playbook	I agree that the playbook hasn't been fully opened yet, but I think it is because the offense is struggling with executing what they already use. I don't see the advantage otherwise. I suppose you keep it off film, but the flipside is your offense doesn't develop game confidence.
1 day 16 hours ago	My thought too. Great place	My thought too. Great place for a Devin Gardner special.
2 days 36 min ago	I'll see your snark and raise	I'll see your snark and raise (based on a technicality). "He will always have a higher percentage of offensive points scored than total points scored." Was't true earlier this year team when team hadn't yet scored. So is that ALWAYS true?
2 days 1 hour ago	Certainly appreciate him and	Certainly appreciate him and he might in fact be the biggest story, but I have a hard time calling him team MVP.
2 days 1 hour ago	Dammit. I recognized i	Dammit. I recognized i flipped the percentages, but you responded before I had a chance to fix it.
2 days 1 hour ago	Implicit assumption that all	It is simultaneously possible that he has 1/2 of all points scored and has 1/3 of points scored by offense (counting field goals/extra points as "offense"). Not all points come from offense.
2 days 2 hours ago	They only care that the money	They only care that the money is even on either side of the line. They don't care about the predictive value of their initial line wrt the actual outcome of the game. Your straw dog with the line moving indicates they didn't set the original line to achieve even money not that they care about the actual results ATS. Now obviously you'd expect the rational bettor to recognize that Michigan always beat the spread and therefore you'd expect the rational bettor to start laying more on Michigan. To achieve even money, the lines then set by odds makers would trend toward Michigan being 50/50 ATS. But, this is a function of odds makers trying to keep the money even not odds makers caring about the predictive value of their lines to the actual outcome.

2 days 14 hours ago	Oddsmakers could care less	Oddsmakers could care less whether Michigan was 1000 and 0 ATS. They only care if they is equal money on either side of the spread. What would happen is more betters would recognize this and would lay more money on Michigan causing the line to move.
