Introduction
The purpose of this document is to explore the most yards in a shutout loss for a college football team. It was inspired after the University of Hawai`i gave up 462 yards in shutting out San Jose State on November 15, 2014. I wanted to see if I could use the dplyr package to explore this question.

To obtain a source of data, I downloaded a database of football game statistics from 2000-2013, from http://www.repole.com/sun4cast/data.html. I unzipped this to the working directory.
if(!file.exists("../datasets/cfb/cfbstats.zip")) {
download_url <- "http://www.repole.com/sun4cast/stats/cfbstats.zip"
download.file(download_url, "../datasets/cfb/cfbstats.zip")
unzip("../datasets/cfb/cfbstats.zip", exdir = "../datasets/cfb/")
}Data Processing
The working directory now contained xml and csv versions of each year. I combined the csv versions into one large file. To do this, I read in each csv file and then use rbind_all to combine them.
# Get a list of just the csv files
files <- list.files(path = "../datasets/cfb/")
files <- files[grep(".csv", files)]
# Initialize a data list to hold the files when I read them in
n_files <- length(files)
data_list <- vector("list", n_files)
# Read them in one by one
fpath = "../datasets/cfb/"
for(i in seq_along(files)) {
data_list[[i]] <- read.csv(paste0(fpath, files[i]))
}
# Combine them into one data frame

Now we just wanted to keep the games in which one of the teams scored 0 points. The pertinent variables are ScoreOff and ScoreDef. The variables are somewhat misleadingly categorized as belonging to Offense (the team in the TeamName variable) or Defense (the team in the Opponent variable).
shutouts <- filter(dat, ScoreDef == 0 | ScoreOff == 0)We created variables for total yards for “Offense” and for “Defense”.
shutouts <- mutate(shutouts, TotalYdsOff = PassYdsOff + RushYdsOff,
TotalYdsDef = PassYdsDef + RushYdsDef)We first ranked by most yards the games in which the “Offense” was shutout.
filter(shutouts, ScoreOff == 0) %>%
select(Date, TeamName, ScoreOff, TotalYdsOff) %>%
arrange(desc(TotalYdsOff))## Date TeamName ScoreOff TotalYdsOff

## 533 09/08/2007 West Virginia Tech 0 15Looking at the results we see a quirk in the data in that some games seem to be represented twice. It would be preferable to have the games all together so that all the shut out teams can be ranked instead of doing it by “offense” or “defense”.
To do this I generated a list of all the games in which the “offense” was shutout and renamed the variables so they could be matched later. I did the same thing with “defense” shutouts.
shutouts_Off <- filter(shutouts, ScoreOff == 0) %>%
select(Date, TeamName, RushYdsOff, PassYdsOff, ScoreOff, TotalYdsOff,
Opponent) %>%
mutate(RushYds = RushYdsOff, PassYds = PassYdsOff, Score = ScoreOff,
TotalYds = TotalYdsOff, SO_team = TeamName, WinTeam = Opponent) %>%
select(Date, SO_team, WinTeam, RushYds, PassYds, Score, TotalYds) %>%
arrange(desc(TotalYds))
shutouts_Def <- filter(shutouts, ScoreDef == 0) %>%
select(Date, TeamName, RushYdsDef, PassYdsDef, ScoreDef, TotalYdsDef,
Opponent) %>%
mutate(RushYds = RushYdsDef, PassYds = PassYdsDef, Score = ScoreDef,
TotalYds = TotalYdsDef, WinTeam = TeamName, SO_team = Opponent) %>%
select(Date, SO_team, WinTeam, RushYds, PassYds, Score, TotalYds) %>%
arrange(desc(TotalYds))We can then combine the two lists into one list and then only keep the unique games.
shutouts_all <- rbind(shutouts_Off, shutouts_Def) %>%
arrange(desc(TotalYds)) %>%
unique()
rm(shutouts_Off); rm(shutouts_Def)
select(shutouts_all, -RushYds, -PassYds, -Score)## Date SO_team WinTeam TotalYds

## 939 09/08/2007 West Virginia Tech Western Kentucky 15Looking more at the data we see that there are some games that seem like the could be joined manually, like the game in rows 2 and 3 where Louisiana State beat an unidentified team while giving up 397 yards and Kentucky lost to an unidentified team while gaining 397 yards. The same holds for 9 and 10.
It appears that the 462 yards that San Jose State gained in total offense on November 15, 2014 are more than any other shutout team from 2000-2013 with the exception of Stephen F. Austin (http://scores.espn.go.com/ncf/boxscore?gameId=322522567) on 9/8/2012!
It is also interesting that San Jose State’s poor luck against Hawaii was not their only time experiencing such a historic feat. The Spartans gained 394 yards in being shut out by Fresno State on 10/20/2007, which is the #3 most yards gained in a shutout on my list (excluding the 11/15/2014 game).
Relationship between Yards and Points Scored
Another question is to see if there is a relationship between points scored and the number of yards gained. We can fit a linear regression model with points scored as the outcome and total yards as the predictor. Let’s again create a list that combines the “offense” and “defense” teams.
# Create TotalYdsOff and TotalYdsDef
dat <- mutate(dat, TotalYdsOff = RushYdsOff + PassYdsOff,
TotalYdsDef = RushYdsDef + PassYdsDef)
dat_off <- filter(dat) %>%
select(Date, TeamName, RushYdsOff, PassYdsOff, ScoreOff, TotalYdsOff,
Opponent) %>%
mutate(RushYds = RushYdsOff, PassYds = PassYdsOff, Score = ScoreOff,
TotalYds = TotalYdsOff) %>%
select(Date, TeamName, Opponent, RushYds, PassYds, Score, TotalYds) %>%
arrange(desc(TotalYds))
dat_def <- filter(dat) %>%
select(Date, TeamName, RushYdsDef, PassYdsDef, ScoreDef, TotalYdsDef,
Opponent) %>%
mutate(RushYds = RushYdsDef, PassYds = PassYdsDef, Score = ScoreDef,
TotalYds = TotalYdsDef, TeamName_temp = TeamName,
TeamName = Opponent) %>%
mutate(Opponent = TeamName_temp) %>%
select(Date, TeamName, Opponent, RushYds, PassYds, Score, TotalYds) %>%
arrange(desc(TotalYds))
dat_all <- rbind(dat_off, dat_def) %>%
arrange(desc(TotalYds)) %>%
unique()This represents 23402 individual team performances.
Let’s plot to see what is the relationship between total yards and score.
smoothScatter(dat_all$TotalYds, dat_all$Score)
model1 <- lm(Score ~ TotalYds, data = dat_all)
abline(model1, col = "red")
There are a couple of obvious outliers there with > 2000 total yards of offense. Which ones are they?
as.data.frame(dat_all[which(dat_all$TotalYds > 2000),])## Date TeamName Opponent RushYds PassYds Score TotalYds
## 1 10/18/2003 Akron U-C-F 1314 1550 38 2864
## 2 10/18/2003 U-C-F Akron 654 1697 24 2351On 10/18/2003 Akron and University of Central Florida played each other, and reportedly both had > 2000 yards of total offense in a game that was only 38-24. I could not find the box score for this so I deleted these observations and reran the plot and model.
dat_all <- dat_all[-which(dat_all$TotalYds > 2000), ]
smoothScatter(dat_all$TotalYds, dat_all$Score)
model1 <- lm(Score ~ TotalYds, data = dat_all)
abline(model1, col = "red")

predict(model1, newdata = data.frame(TotalYds = 462), interval = "pred")## fit lwr upr
## 1 34.56348 15.80386 53.3231The 95% confidence interval for the prediction is 15.8-53.3 points, and 0 points is well outside of this confidence interval.
Next Steps
Clearly the performances are not all independent (same team may score at a more similar rate per yard than different teams). Also, there is some censoring at the bottom, suggesting that perhaps tobit regression might be a better model since you can’t score fewer than 0 points yet you can have fewer than 0 total yards…
There are some outliers where the team scored > 20 points with overall negative yards for the game. These games would be interesting to look at.
