Stanzi Over/Under - 3300 yds

Think it will be a stretch to get past 3K. I think we get ahead earlier on more teams this year and will still run despite the injuries.
 




over, your original total in the title was correct 3,500. he will have a few 400 yd games his year. He is currently projecting 2,900 yards, when the first two games he was primarily handing off- that will soon change, 3 & 4 receiver sets are in our future. I like ARob as a "draw-option" out of the backfield (his longest run from scrimmage was a draw play). As we speak the playbook is getting opened and some 6 year old formations and plays are getting dusted off.



I would love to see that playbook left open and dust-free. Bill Snyder and Hayden Fry's players seemed capable of absorbing their more complex and imaginative offensive schemes just fine. (With more success).

Under 3,300

link for that total? because my links say otherwise.....

Barring injury Stanzi will have taken most of the snaps this year, and in '05 & '06 the team threw for over 3,000 yards each year. '04 we actually threw for less yardage BECAUSE we were one dimensional. In '05 AY had 1300+ yards, and in '06 AY had 700+ while Sims had 600+. That is probably the extent of the contribution we will be getting from our RB's this season, now look at '05 and '06 passing...... each year we also had over 3,000 yards passing thanks to a 2nd and 3rd year starting QB just like this year and an "OK" running game. Some people love to fire statements from the hip, when 15 minutes of research could tell you everything you need to know about a subject. Since i already knew i thought that i would share the statistics with you.
I also wasnt firing them off without research, I was using what I thought was a credible source.

But your right,I'll still say under because 3500 is quite a bit, but I will change my thought and that he will eclipse 3000.

I do not know why this hasn't been mentioned yet... He threw for 2,400 yards last year and missed 2 games + 2.5 Quarters in the NW game. He easily reaches 3,000 if he doesn't get hurt, and throws for 25 TD's too.

Barring injury, IT'S CROW EATING TIME!!!!!

He only needs 323 yards for 3,000; and 623 for 3,300. he also sits at 23 TD's, two away from where I predicted.

This week i could easily see him go over 350, because they will still limit some of Cokers carries (some where in the 17-22 carry range). Which means more passing opportunities for Stanzi.

You realize that is NOT your prediction for this year, but rather stating what he would have accomplished had he NOT got injured LAST year???

I will edit to state that maybe I'm mis-reading, but in earlier posts in this thread you stated that Rick would throw for over 3500 yards with "ease" and mix in some 400+ yards games as well. I don't see who is in need of eating crow in this rather than yourself because Rick is not reaching 3000 yards with "ease." He may not even get there...Way to drag this back up though...

It appears as though I got in on this when the total was over/under 3500 yards. Taking the under, I think I'll be ok as I don't see Rick erupting for 823 passing yards against the Gophers and a bowl opponent...but I suppose stranger things have happened.

I probably should have created a new paragraph.
Think about what you are saying--considering that he ended the season with 17 TD's last year you are saying that i was saying that he could have made up the ground of 8 TD's? The bolded part of my quote was actually the prediction for this year. Even though he did not get to 300+ yards yet, i think he does it on saturday.

Hawkfan, it would not have been unrealistic for him to throw 2 more td's against NW and 3 each against OSU n Minn. Again, in earlier posts you said he gets over 3500 yards and now stating otherwise..I don't know why I'm arguing lol, I don't really care I guess! :) If you are being honest, yes, a new paragraph would have made all the difference...
 


I did say throughout the thread the he would EASILY eclipse 3,000; I settled at that yardage because people were saying that he wouldn't even reach that number. I did feel optimistic about him getting to 3,500 -- but i would have bet the farm on him getting to 3,000 (barring injury of course). the funny thing is that he could very easily eclipse 3,300 which the OP moved the line to.
