AccuScore predicts UCLA has slight edge over K-State

by SonsOfWestwood on Sep 1, 2010 12:15 PM PDT

It is unclear if injuries have been factored in, but none-the-less AccuScore has given UCLA a slight advantage going into Saturday's game with the Wildcats. Some notable information/stat lines:

The game is simulated on AccuScore's software over 10,000 times
When UCLA wins the turnover battle, they win the game 67% of the time (seems like a no brainer)
Kevin Prince: QB Rating of 135.1, 261.5 passing yards, 1.3 touchdowns, 0.7 interceptions
Our leading rusher is Jonathan Franklin, getting 9.8 carries for 47.3 yards and 0.5 touchdowns
Malcolm Jones had 10.5 carries for 36.5 yards
Both Rosario and Embree catch 5.1 passes each, Rosario for 75.9 yards and Embree for 66.7
Our defense forces 1.5 sacks, 1 interception, and 1 fumble recovery

Obviously this is in no way, shape, or form something to hang our hats on, but it will be interesting seeing how accurate these predictions turn out to be.

BTW

It looks like Kevin Prince beat out Brehaut…

Beat out?

or just is healthy enough. I think he had already beaten him out, it was just a matter of whether he’d be able to play, no?

But hey, what do I know. I’m just the 800 lbs bruin in the room.

I would love to know how exactly this works

I imagine it is EA Madden/NCAA with every player rated and some type of algorithm to ‘predict’ defense and offense, but it just seems to weird.

Im interested as well

I did read that the first 3 weeks of the season are less accurate due to the fact they are basing returning players numbers on the end of last year and projecting freshman numbers
