The 2024 FCS football season kicked off with five huge matchups. We review some of the biggest games of the Week 0 slate and go behind the numbers
After each week of the 2024 FCS football season, we will take you behind the numbers on some of the most important games of the week. We will give you some of the most significant outliers compared to Success Rate each week. We will also give you some of the most interesting stats from across the nation throughout the season.
We want to compare these statistics to the results because chaotic things happen in college football. Weird turnovers, excessive penalties, and lucky plays can all skew the perception of a game and make the final score a poor indicator of overall performance. Success rate is a highly effective predictive measure for how a team will play in the future, rather than just evaluating the box score.
Despite McNeese's inability to move the ball for three quarters, the Cowboys averaged over 6.5 yards per play. This was due to the offense's ability to produce explosive plays, highlighted by Clifton McDowell's 80-yard touchdown pass to Matthew McCallister. The Cowboys finished the game with eight plays over 15 or more yards, including both touchdown passes from McDowell.
Montana State rushed for over 370 yards and averaged over 7.5 yards per carry, led by Adam Jones and Scottre Humphrey. The two backs combined for over 300 rushing yards on 36 carries while finishing the game with only one negative play. It was another dominant performance from Montana State's offensive line in the run game.
