So this time, guess how many yards per pass attempt BYU will give up in relation to Texas A&M. If BYU gives up less yards, please express that as a positive number (easier for me to enter). If BYU gives up more yards, then express the difference as a negative number. Enter to the tenths decimal point. If you enter more I will either round or not, choosing the option which hurts you the most.

Interesting how misleading you were in the intro. A&M may have a bad D, but they certainly had a VERY good showing in Pass Defense in the UNM game, for whatever reason. 4.1 YPA is VERY good.

BYU has, in it's games this year, given up the following YPA:

UNI: 8.5
UW: 6.4
UCLA: 5.9
Wyo: 3.8
USU: 7.1


On the other hand, UNM's O has gone 21 for 33 yards, and 16 for 55 in the last two games.

Haha sucker, he fooled you too. Even though you did the analysis, you still used his 4.1 as your base.

Btw, I didn't read spaz's post before I made my guess.

I am pretty close to you. I think you cheated off of me.

I am close to yours, but I don't look at any guesses (or stick my model) to make my guess. Takes the fun out of it.
