Advanced statistics have made a big impact in basketball and baseball, but are still considered somewhat taboo in the game of college football. I know people reading this have probably never really dived into advanced stats so I wanted to do a piece here kind of describing how this system works and why they are important stats to keep an eye on. Just recently, Tulane head coach Willie Fritz mentioned that he is depending on numbers and these advanced stats, so these are becoming more relevant in our current college football world. Thanks to our good friends at Football Outsiders and the good work of SB Nation’s own Bill Connelly, this will be the first of a two part series that will give a specific stat of what each Fun Belt team must keep up and improve going into 2017 (Coastal Carolina will not be included due to this being their first season in FBS).
