The stat nerds amongst us will go to great lenghts

to justify Nelly's continuance as the HBC... Okay, great, if you want to go through every person that coached at WVU, great, have at it....enjoy your hobby..... However, while I can accept a losses, it's the how Nelly is losing that proves he's got to go. How many times have we lost a game because the team wasn't prepared, or because Nelly was out coached, screwed up the clock management, or made a stupid decision --remember the sPItt game a few years ago--. And so my challenge to the stat nerds is simply this: don't look at the numbers, but look at the how.

Utilization of talent

Did ISU make Neal limit Green’s running ability? It’s what makes him different. His drop back passing does not. Is Gallagher not the quick twitch player he was supposed to be? If he is, can brown design some plays for him? Is Farmer quick twitch? If he is, and even if he can’t block nor run good routes yet, at least design a play or two to give him a chance to break one. Seems like a line returning several starters with the running ability of Green, White, and Donaldson should run the crap out of the ball.
