Yeah, that 2001 Stanford offense reminds me a bit of Stanford's 2013 offense - didn't throw the ball a lot but when we did it tended to be well down the field.
Though in 2001 we threw a little more, more extreme down the field, and for a lower percentage.Â
Yards/attempt tells you something about the efficiency of the pass game regardless of style, yds/completion says a little about type of pass game you are running.
In 2001 Fasani averaged 17.2 yds/completion [that's a big number], 8.86 yds/att.
[Lewis had half the attempts that year. He ran the same kind of offense but was less extreme. Lewis averaged 14.2 yds/completion, 7.83 yds/att]
In 2013 Hogan averaged 14.6 yds/completion, 8.92 yds/att.
