Some interesting stuff in there.
Just thought I would mention that YPA is not a very good proxy for explosiveness and big plays. Yards per completion is a somewhat better proxy.
On that score, Hogan was at 13.63 for 25th in the country.
Beathard was at 12.72 for 45th in the country.
Other related stats would be number of big passing plays, though there is no normalization there for number of attempts.
Hogan has 36 pass completions over 20 yards for 44th.
Beathard has 37 pass completions over 20 yards for 38th.
[Both tied with several]
Hogan has 13 pass completions over 40 yards for 17th.
Beathard has 8 pass completions over 40 yards for 44th.
Beathard has attempted 25.3 passes per game.
Hogan has attempted 21.8 passes per game.
