It's your pal, Raising Heel.
As some of you know, I like playing around with football statistics. I posted head-to-head stats here before most games last season. It was hard to gauge the amount of interest from the board, but I do this stuff for myself anyway so if even one person enjoyed them that's a good thing.
Anyway, I've been working on revamping some of the stats during the offseason. I'll post below what I've come up with so far. I'd be curious to hear your thoughts. I'm open to constructive criticism, so if there are changes you'd like to see or an entirely different analysis, let me know.
Two disclaimers. One, I'm limited by the stats that are publicly available from the NCAA website. I'm not going to be able to tell you UNC's completion percentage on 3rd down and 5+ yards to go when throwing 10+ yards beyond the line of scrimmage to the right side of the field. Secondly, I'm not ESPN or CBS Sports or any of those guys, so any infographics you want to see will be somewhat limited by what I can do with basic software. Other than that, let it rip.
What you see below is the North Carolina-South Carolina opener based on stats from the 2014 season. Click on the link to see the full-sized version of each graphic (since Rivals shrinks them down). I'll gladly post these with updated stats next season for each game (except FCS Delaware State). Hope you enjoy them.
