Stat Check
Here's where John David Booty and Mark Sanchez currenty stand in the stat dept:
G Cmp-Att-Int Pct Yds TD Lng Avg/G Efficiency
Booty, J.D. 5 113-175-8 64.6 1,239 12 63 247.8 137.53
Sanchez, Mark 5 68-113-5 60.2 665 7 48 133.0 121.20
Wolfie, way to stoke the fire of the "controversy". But, the stats analysis is not very helpful. Both guys can throw the ball, Sanchez has more athleticism and positive intangibles than Booty, but the QB position is NOT the reason SC is struggling on Offense. The entire unit is out of synch, and with all of our thoroughbreds back there, although we are young and wounded, I can only point the finger at coaching.
The clueless debate will focus on Sanchez/Booty. The real debate should be: is Sark the guy? Or, has our offense become WAY TOO familiar and predictable to the other VERY SMART and TALENTED coaching staffs in the Pac-10? How much has the annual assistant coaching carousel hurt us.....Chow, Kiff, Orgeron, Morton?
It's impossible to stay at the top for long in college football these days with scholarship limits and early draftee options, but I have complete confidence that PC will find a way to begin a Carroll II era. Our problem is NOT at QB, but starts and ends with the offensive coaches and, perhaps even, our now antiquated offensive system.
For those of you that care to know the NCAA/NFL QBR formulas read the link down below. Keep in mind that the NCAA formula is different than the NFL one.
trojanman SS should get the benefit of the doubt. He does what PC tells him [TO DO]. Another piece of information that the stats do NOT tell you is the way Mark brought the best out of Turner and Vidal Hazelton in three games while JDB could NOT do in five games.
¡Viva Sánchez!
