Posted by: Pete Roussel on September 6, 2012 Chip Kelly says there's one meaningful statistic that he wants to know after every game. On Thursday morning, Kelly explained during the SiriusXM College Football Playbook, "I'm not a stat guy. I (do however) spend a lot of time looking at statistics, but the statistic that we talk about all the time that is not on the stat sheet is response after a turnover." Kelly said, "It's not about winning the turnover battle. It's about what your response is after the turnover because if you're defense can do an unbelievable job and put you at +4, but every single time the offense goes 3 & out, you didn't do anything with what the defense created for you. By the same token, just because you turn it over on the offensive side of the ball, if your defense can go out there and stop them, then that's what it's all about. "So, for us, the only thing we talk about from a statistical standpoint is what is our response after a turnover. Are we capitalizing when our defense creates a turnover, and if we happen to turn it over, does our defense go on the field and stop the opponent from doing something with it. That's what we talk about and I think that's the one that has the biggest impact on games." -------------------------------------- ** Notice the new FieldTurf ad running on the site.
