It looks like you accidentally forgot to include his year 1 results.
Same as UM's last year.
What Muschamp does to quarterbacks is how Rocky Mtn oysters are made.  Jeff Driskel could have been great - look at his year at LA Tech and that he's actually sticking in the pros.  But the boy was so terrifed to turn the ball over or hit a big play that might make the defense eventualy tire.....

Interesting. Because I'm a data skeptic, I'd love to know the composition of those throws.

Not saying it is or isn't the case, but that could speak to only throwing the choicest of deeper passes.

10 yards isn't too far downfield

Yup, and I think they count YAC in the figure, so a 5 yard swing pass that gains 10 YAC would be 15.  He has completed a fair number of actual long passes, his issue is height and some arm strength, but he's pretty accurate.

May or may not... In the NFL they track DOT (depth of target, i.e. air yards) and YAC separately. It's not hard to actually have depth of target stats for players. I'm not sure whether college stat-trackers really put in the time and effort to do it, though.

I doubt they count YAC, but I'm not certain

the way it's worded, they should not

76.5% is massive regardless of how they count depth.
