How does this writer reach this conclusion? To my eye, Matthews's incompletions ballooned from 89 to 143, and his interceptions increased by 50%.
I also think that the completion percentage is incorrect. 239 divided by 328 looks more like 72.9%. The first clue is that he had more completions in fewer attempts in 1990, yet the completion % remains relatively unchanged. -Zeb On May 7, 2013, at 10:21 AM, Woody wrote: > Shane Matthews > > 1990: Completed 239 of 328 passes (60.6 percent) for 2,962 yards with 23 > touchdowns and 12 interceptions.
