0:00.0	All right, Shane. Hey, we spieled on long enough here. Let's get to our interview with Clark Brooks,
0:05.7	aka SCC stat cat. Hey, we're pleased now to welcome back to the show, Clark Brooks, better known
0:14.4	as SCC stat cat. He's, I, for my money, he's the best follow on Twitter. Go to his website,
0:21.6	SCC stat cat dot com. Clark, thanks for joining me once again. I really appreciate you. Mike,
0:27.6	looking forward to talking to you again. Been a while. Yeah, and I got to be honest, bandit. You're
0:32.2	one of the few guests here. We could spiel on before we even get to the recording. So that's how I
0:36.6	know you're fired up to be here, fired up to drop some knowledge. I really do appreciate it.
0:41.3	And one thing that I'm seeing, like I said, at SCC underscore, SCC stat cat, if you're not following
0:47.6	Clark already, you're doing your life wrong here. But he is jumping on just about anybody that is

1:21.3	been he snowed out a few years ago, this kid is like a ghost in comparison.
1:25.3	Been he snowed as many yards as he gained. He was not an efficient running back. Sure, it helped
1:30.0	you take grind it out and maybe win some ball games. But you know, from where I sit, why not
1:35.3	like the more efficient option? Well, looking at Mr. Rodriguez, he only was situationally successful
1:42.2	on two-thirds of his carries last season. You know, the next closest running back with at least
1:47.4	50 carries got 54.9%. So about 12% higher than the next closest guy. He's head and shoulders
1:56.0	above everyone else. Number one in the nation in first down touchdown rate. He was six
2:01.3	in amongst the volume guys in broken tackle rates. And of course, anyone can follow good blocking.
