In the spirit of the old adage that there are three kinds of lies -- lies, damned lies and statistics -- I'm going to examine some key stats that college coaches crave. I'm talking about a few detail-oriented numbers that some position coaches really pay attention to, which I'm hoping to spotlight several times here during the course of the offseason.
Today, I'm beginning with a special-teams stat: average field position. This one is courtesy of Houston special-teams coordinator/assistant head coach Tony Levine, who came to UH after having coached special teams with the Carolina Panthers.
