This is a thumbnail compilation of final stats and subtracting those
of roster departures due to graduation, eligibility, etc. Should
provide a quick sketch of returning talent vs conference foes.

RYPG = 2007 rushing yards per game
PYPG = 2007 passing yards per game
SR-RB = subtracted yards per game for roster departures
SR-QB = ditto
SR-WR = ditto
SR-OL = equivalent number of off-linemen departed (starters or not)
…based on number of games played, not incl long snappers if known
SR-D = percentage of defensive talent departed based on top 15 tacklers


**** RYPG SR-RB PYPG SR-QB SR-WR SR-OL SR-D …
Brwn 114.2 27.5 310.0 0.0 108.0 1.80 29% …

Only two teams return their starting QB. Should be interesting spring.

Our offense should be even better than last year with a lot of returning players. Could be a record breaking year in terms of offensive production.

I just hope we don't also give up 50 points a game.

I think that'll only happen once xrotatehx

As long as we don't blow a 17 point 4th quarter lead, we should be fine.

My quick analysis of those stats suggests that Brown should win the whole thing this year.xcoolx What is their historical predictive value?

Of course, Yale gets McLeod back, and Harvard has pretty good depth at QB despite losing some good seniors. Should be another wide-open race!xnodx xpeacex

They're probably a guide, not a predictor. If a team, oh let's say Columbia, has just about everyone back from a 1-9 team, does that really mean much?

2-8?

Truly, not a predictor, but major senior losses is generally not good.
On average a returning starting quarterback is good for an extra
3 points per game or one extra win. A departed starting QB would
cost the opposite, on average.

Naturally, you start with last year's performance and go from there.

Harvard & Yale should still be co-favorites with their outstanding defenses and top returnees.

Note: Caveat added. No loss to those fleabitten felines included.xthumbsupx
