One of the advantages to tracking statistical tendencies is you can see when something different occurs.
For example, before last week's game, Melvin Gordon had run wide right (as in a jet sweep-type run) just twice and for all of 1 yards combined. Against Purdue, he had two of those kind of runs and gained 62 yards.
OK, now let's get right to the numbers after this reminder on keys to the table . . .
LI = left inside; LO= left outside; LW = left wide (i.e. end around); MID = middle; RI = right inside; RO = right outside; RW = right wide; INT = intended receiver on an interception; INC/PEN = an incomplete pass which did not count in the statistics due to a penalty; BAT/CTCH = ball batted down but caught by a Wisconsin lineman who was not the intended target

Tanner McEvoy had just two pass attempts vs. Purdue: One to Sam Arneson which was incomplete, but also went away due to a penalty, and another completed to Gordon. If you want to see McEvoy's season totals, please check out last week's edition.
Also, I'll update the penalty chart next week. Seems like something which doesn't need to be done each week (if at all, but, hey, I'm game).
