Position-by-position breakdown for UAB vs. North Texas

[Coach Andy Mac]

Quarterback

Before sustaining a concussion against the Hilltoppers, Hopkins led the Blazers to a 4-2 record while passing for 1,233 yards, 7 touchdowns and 2 interceptions, adding 119 yards and 2 scores on the ground.

The junior has completed 58.2 percent of passes for 2,753 yards, throwing for 28 touchdowns and 11 interceptions, and leads the Mean Green’s 24th-ranked passing offense (285.2 ypg).

I got through the QBs and all the way to the next position groups, the RBs when i realized that he knwos really nothing about NT other than the numbers. Otherwise he might have noticed how many of NTs RBs are injured (not that one should take that to mean the RBs aren't still quality. That RB chart is deeeeep

Which article?   The one that was posted above I think has more positions going to Advantage NT?  I skimmed it, maybe I missed some points within the paragraphs.
