STATISTICS…THEN
AND NOW
Towards the end of the 1st decade of the
21st Century, the USAFL set out to
inject statistical and performance
realism into a league that featured
virtually no running game, only a
slightly more effective passing game,
dominant defensive line play with teams
amassing as many as 9-10 sacks per game
over an entire season, and limited
parallels between personnel decisions
and employed coaching styles. Analyzing
the comparative statistics from the 2006
and 2007 seasons (the seasons utilized
to base testing performance against)
with the 2010 and 2011 seasons (the
first two seasons using the new schemes)
and the 2058 and 2059 seasons (the 2
most recent seasons recorded in USAFL
history), the league can look back with
pride on the decided improvement the
schemes have had on the "feel"
of the league.
