Dak vs Costello

[Ibdancin]

Yeah, it all has to be proven on an SEC field, but why not look at it for the fun of it.


Costello- 2018. Why 2018, he played the full season and was not injured. Attempted 414 passes.

Season: 65.1%
Home: 66.8%
Road: 63.5%
Vs AP Top 25: 68.3%

Dak -2014. Was also his Jr season and the season we went #1. Attempted 396 passes.

Season: 61.6%
Home: 63.7%
Away: 59.8%
Vs AP Top 25: 61.4%




I think the sample size is pretty even. Now we have Leach that will push 500+ passing attempts:

2019: 689 attempts
2018: 662
2017: 713

etc etc etc...



I think it's safe to assume that Costello has the ability and will now be in a system that could allow him to shatter the record here.

The math breaks down like this:

650 attempts at a 65.1% completion ratio is 423 completed passes. That's 154 MORE completed passes in a year. He averaged 13.16 yards per pass. That's 2,026 MORE yards for the season, or 5,566 yards in passing at his current %. If he increases that in this system...... geez!

These are the records that will be broken:

- Passing attempts
- Passing comps
- Passing yards
- Passing TDs



Makes you smile doesn't it

What were the rankings of the defenses Dak did it against vs the ones Costello did in 18?

Exactly Mount L. Still excited tho

 

[Ibdancin]

What were the rankings of the defenses Dak did it against vs the ones Costello did in 18?

What would that matter? I tell you San Diego State was ranked 21st in defense, and you come back with "yeah but they play in the MWC". In fact, it get's into nobody has a defense unless it's the SEC.

The ranked teams Dak faced:

#2 Auburn.. defense ranked 64th.
#8 LSU... 9th
#6 TAMU... 102th
#12 G tech...79th
#5 Bama was 12th..


Costello:

Cali- 15th
Washington- 12th
SDS -21
Utah 14th

My intent wasn't to challenge or upset you. I asked in order to find out.
