Stat Descriptions
- *Success is a metric determined using the following calculations: The offense acheives 40% of the yards to gain on 1st down, 60% of the yards to gain on 2nd down, and 100% of the yards to gain on third down.
- *Explosiveness is a metric determined using the following calculations: a rush that goes for 10+ yards, a pass that goes for 20+ yards.
- *Ratings are determined from the player’s recruitment rating. However, if a player acheives a higher rating after transferring, the higher rating is used.
- *Stars are calculated using the following calculations: 0-0.6999 = 2 Star or NA, 0.7000-0.7999 = 2.XXXX Star, 0.8000-0.8999 = 3.XXXX Star, 0.9000-0.9799 = 4.XXXX Star, and 0.9800-1.0000 = 5 Star
- *Offensive and Defensive Starters may not always have 11 players as different packages may require different personnel, so there may be situations where a team acknowledges 12 or 13 starters on offense or defense.
- *Red and Green shading is used to determine if a team is above or below average in a stat category.
