but he does have an axe to grind with ND and Weis in particular. It tends to undermine his efforts.

I do enjoy a lot of his stuff, but just as Jeff pointed out, as SMQ digs deeper into the numbers, things can get missed or tossed aside. If you're reading his work on teams other than ND, you may not as readily recognize the "damned stats" from the good stats.

Sometimes he makes me wish I'd been a liberal arts major, though. Wouldn't mind being more capable of drawing parallels between a football team's short yardage defense and classic lit.
