Gottfried institutes a proven program to analyze football team by computer
By ED GROM Sports Writer
KU football coach Mike Goffried not only brought in a new regime to lead the Jayhawks, but he also brought in a new computer program system to help break down and analyze future opponents and the Jayhawks, too.
Defensive coordinator Ron Zook said Gottfried had brought in new computer programs and would use them on the Academic Computing Center's Hone-
Gottried first used computer programs to analyze teams while he was coaching at Murray State University in 1978. He used them again as coach at the University of Cincinnati, Zook said. Gottfred tried to KU from Cincinnati.
This year will be the first in which a KU team has used a computer to analyze itself and opponents, Zook said. Using the country around the country alone use the device.
"THE COMPUTER has been a big help to us through the last five or six years," said Zook, who has been an assistant to Gottfried since 1978.
"It gives us information like percentage of passing downs and running downs, number of runs on first down and things like that.
Zook and the defensive staff were busy over the summer, they viewed game files of teams on KU's 1982 season. They also played interactive plays for the computer to analyze.
The computer system starts when the coaches write down information about every play. The information is then stored in the database for entry into the computer, Zook said.
The offense then has some idea of what defensive formation it will face in certain situations.
In addition, the offensive staff uses the computers to detect tendencies in opposing defenses. The staff considers what moves in its search for defensive patterns.
Zook said the computer would also be used to analyze KU.
"What we do is look for tendencies," he said.
"It is used more as a timesaver than anything else."
"We will know if we have any tendencies, and that will be beneficial to us." Zook said. "That is the worst thing that can happen. If we do fall into a tendency, other teams will pick that up and key on it."
In the future, Zook said, the football team will use the computer to compile a mailing list and to keep track of top recruits.
Marky Alexander will be competing for a spot on the Jayhawk defensive line. Alexander was moved from defensive end to defensive tackle in the wide-tackle six alignment.
