Healthy Taysom Hill PER - Poll

[Cougarbib]

PER Formula considers many factors. Some argue that other factors also affect it. I think everything effects it. A PER of 135 wins a lot of games. The team with the highest PER that day usually wins. PER matters.

Taysom Hill has to stay healthy in 2014 for BYU to have a strong PER season since we once again lack experienced depth.

One could argue that Hill improved as 2013 rolled along - but only if you adjust for who the opponent was each week. I would argue that BYU improved - team sport.

@UVA 72.5 - L
Texas 68.6 - W
Utah 78.83 - L

MTSU 141.41 - W
@USU 150.79 - W
Georgia Tech 158.5 - W
@Houston 161.88 - W
Boise State 159.45 - W

@Wisconsin 99.97 - L
Idaho State 128.7 - W
@Notre Dame 101.14 - L
Nevada 160.18 - W

Bowl - Neutral - Washington 99.19 - L

Those are the games in the sequence they were played.

Predict the 2014 PER for Taysom Hill when playing healthy.

Yes. But what did you predict. I went with 146-150.

135-140.

I think we'll have one or two sub-par games. But I really liked how consistent he was during the middle of the season last year. It wasn't a stretch of play of an elite level. But it was one of the most consistent stretches for a BYU QB in the last 20 years.

And the teams he did it against weren't slouches either. Each team won 7 or more games. And he was significantly better than those teams' DPER as well.

Against MTSU (8-win team) he was 16.3 points better than MTSU's DPER.
Against Utah St (9-win team) he was 40.3 points better than USU's DPER.
Georgia Tech (7-win team) he was 27.9 points better than GT's DPER.
Houston (8-win team) he was 46.5 points better than Houston's DPER.
Boise St (8-win team) he was 32.7 points better than Boise's DPER.
