I literally never heard that phrase in any stat or research math class.
Did you ever hear the one from the accounting class?
What is 2 + 2?
"What ever you want it to be!"

IIRC our "3 and out" percentage was one of the lowest in the country
That's one of those empty statistics though. Most drives start on our side of the 50. We continually sputtered out after crossing the 50. So a lot of those drives without a 3 and out didn't mean ****
We scored the most points in school history
An extension is meaningless unless you also raise the buyout IMO.

Field position duh.That's one of those empty statistics though. Most drives start on our side of the 50. We continually sputtered out after crossing the 50. So a lot of those drives without a 3 and out didn't mean ****
So why didn't we win more games?
We scored the most points in school history
Our history is mostly bad. 12 game schedules are a relatively recent thing. The Big 12 style of play is a relatively recent thing. We put up 72 points in a single game. All of that contributes to that stat being a little misleading.
Our offense was pretty good. It was nowhere near being some unstoppable juggernaut.
Nearly 30% of those points came in two games (17% of the games), one game being against an FCS team. And another 16 points came against an FCS team in overtime.
I never said we were some juggernaut but to pretend Manning was bad this year is incredibly stupid IMO
I agree with that. I just don't think that "most points in school history" is a real strong defense of Manning, that's all.
I mean no matter how bad we are historically it's a pretty big deal. We lost two guys early to the NFL and still put up the most points in the CMC era
Seize momentum? What momentum?
I think Manning has done some really good things with the offense. But he also ran some things on offense that made you scratch your head and say wtf are you thinking?Here's the list to pick from. Who do you want over Manning from Iowa State's recent history:
Steve Loney
Steve Brickey
Barney Cotton
Robert McFarland
Tom Herman
Courtney Messingham
Mark Mangino
Todd Sturdy
At worst, Manning is the 2nd best option there.
