pleased we have got Dan Cole in our team. H

After defeating Indiana on Saturday, the Nebraska Cornhuskers have already matched their win total from last season and are off to their best start (6-0) since 2001 when they won their first 11 games and lost in the BCS Championship Game against Miami.Mike Riley deserves credit for the Huskers turnaround, but maybe there is a secret to their success that is rooted in data and statistical analysis.?Nebraska is the only Division I college athletic program that employs a sport analytics department spanning all sports. Headed by Tucker Zeleny, Nebraskas full-time director of sports analytics and data analysis hired in 2015, the department is in charge of working with Nebraskas 24 varsity sports teams to collect, analyze and summarize data for the coaches and staffs.In the simplest terms, Zeleny and his team look at anything and everything that can help Nebraska win games including scouting, recruiting, health and nutrition, player exertion, injury prevention and more.A native of Carleton, Nebraska, Zeleny grew up loving Nebraska sports. He earned his doctorate in statistics from the university in 2015 and convinced the Nebraska brass that sports analytics can make an impact in college athletics.Zeleny understands that his role is not to replace coaches and scouts; rather, he can provide them data to inform their decisions.Maybe its something new or something they suspected and we can reinforce that idea. Zeleny said.One example of a study the analytics department recently completed is an analysis of what wins football games. Looking back at the past five seasons, they determined what makes a successful team (beyond scoring more points than its opponents) and provided the coaching staff with benchmarks relating to turnovers, penalties, third downs, yards per point differential and more.Beyond looking at conference and national trends, the analytics team also dives deeper into scouting, situational decision-making and player exertion than ever before.We do player tracking with Catapult [a GPS tracker] and that is mostly done from a health perspective, Zeleny said. Coaches get that data and monitor the player loads. We dive deeper in the analytics department to do more predictive injury risks.Additionally, the team provides coaches with information on opponent tendencies, formations and personnel to help with scouting, and have looked at specific situations (such as fourth downs) to supplement coaches in-game strategy.Maybe this type of data analysis impacts only a few plays or players per game, but if any team understands how much one or two plays can impact the entire season, its the Nebraska football team, which lost four games on the final play in 2015.Zeleny notes that the Nebraskas coaching staff has been receptive to this added data, but the key is to present their findings in a way that coaches can relate to.We know that if we go in there guns blazing and act like you have all the answers with someone who has worked there for years, you arent going to have a lot of success, Zeleny noted. Coaches are coaches for a reason, so we try to help them as much as possible and supplement them rather than replace them.Over the years, sports analytics has gotten a bad rap from some purists; skeptics fear that the nerd behind the computer will take over their time-honored game, but the main goal for groups such as the one at Nebraska is to simply provide one more tool for coaches and staffs to make decisions.The sports analytics revolution?has already begun in college football, and as teams and coaches continue to recognize the value it can provide, it will only continue to grow.While Nebraskas 6-0 start should not be unduly credited to the schools year-old sports analytics department, it certainly doesnt hurt to have extra data that can provide the slightest edge. nike vapormax skroutz γυναικεια .

Dallas hasnt ruled out the star quarterback for Sunday nights game against Philadelphia, but all signs point to Romos back injury pushing Kyle Orton into the starting role after two years of limited play as the backup. Surely Ortons name isnt the first that comes to mind for fans wanting a change after years of damaging interceptions, fumbles or, most infamously, the field goal flub when Romo dropped the snap on a kick that could have won his first playoff game in 2006. nike vapormax προς πώληση .

Steve Borthwick has mounted a strong defence of England prop Dan Cole amid accusations from Australia that he has been scrummaging illegally for his entire career.The rivals meet in Saturdays climax to the autumn series at Twickenham with the set-piece forming the battleground for an exchange of verbal blows between Eddie Jones and Michael Cheika, the head coaches.Jones lit the fuse immediately after Argentina had been defeated 27-14 by claiming the Wallabies scrummage illegally, adding that he would seek a meeting with referee Jaco Peyper to highlight his concerns.Cheika retaliated by singling out Cole for criticism, insisting the Leicester tighthead has been infringing the law since his career started probably, if not all of this year, and Borthwick has delivered an emphatic response.Im very pleased we have got Dan Cole in our team. Hes an excellent player and a great person to have in this pack, forwards coach Borthwick said.Im just pleased hes part of this England pack and I know I enjoy working withh him.ddddddddddddAll the players enjoy having him as part of this pack.

For the last couple of weeks its been JP Doyle and when we went to Portugal, Greg Garner came out, Borthwick said.Every Tuesday and Thursday we have a referee in our sessions and there will be a referee there on Thursday as well. Were grateful for that support from the referees.England name their team to face Australia on Thursday morning with Nathan Hughes set to start in place of the injured Billy Vunipola and Marland Yarde favourite to come in for Elliot Daly on the right wing.
