The 2011 season may be over but SB Nation's College Football Stats guru Bill Connelly has been hard at work breaking down the data he's been amassing since the start of September. One stat he's been tracking all season has been Targets & Catches and, we're happy to note, he's released the season totals into the wild.
As we explained when Connelly offered the sneak preview of these numbers at mid season, Targets & Catches measure how many times given players are being thrown to, how often they catch those passes and what yardage they earn once they do.
You can find all of the raw numbers on this ginormous public spreadsheet but here are the numbers on the Alabama players organized from the most targeted receiver to the least. Definitions are below the chart and after the jump you'll find the numbers broken down by standard and passing downs.
Alabama Receivers on All Passes
Targets = receptions plus incompletions targeting a given receiver.
Catches = receptions.
Yards = receiving yards
Catch Rate = catches / targets
Yards Per Target = yards / targets
Target % = the percentage of a team's passes targeting a given receiver.
%SD = the percent of a players targets that came on standard downs.

UPDATE: If you would like to compare Alabama's performance to the rest of the conference, all you need to do is follow this here link over to Team Speed Kills. There you'll find these Target & Catches numbers for all of the SEC.
