Cooper DeJean with some outstanding awareness to fall back into the throw and get the interception.

DeJean also hit a max speed of 21.31 MPH on this play. The fastest by a defensive player as a ball carrier this season (including playoffs), per NextGenStats.

Enjoyable time with Connor and Grant working through this #BigDataBowl. We attempted to bite off quite a bit -- is it possible to create an overall metric for predictability of play outcome given pre-snap information?

Quick hit: more first downs = more unpredictable

my 2025 NFL Big Data Bowl entry is now live, this year it's pre-snap data so I modelled a QB's intended pass target as a Hidden Markov model to try to understand what's going on in their head. #nflbigdatabowl
