Graphs That Explain Why You Stink

CrossCyed has linked to some excellent graphs from MGoBlog that really lay out why ISU football struggled all year.

The one point that jumps at me was ISU relative success defensively on 3rd and more than 9. I suspect that opposing OCs knew that their odds of success were high at 3rd and less than 5, so when they found themselves with long 3rds, they ran something safe and took their chances on the next drive.

Sometimes its just about playing the odds. It will be interesting to check those graphs on a week-to-week basis next fall.
