J.J. SPARKMAN

Player lines begin in 2020, so a career shown here starts there even where the player did not. The club beside the name is the one this player last recorded a box score for, taken from the stat rows rather than from the player table, because a college roster turns over every year and that column holds only the last club the loader saw. Win and loss are derived from the fixture’s own final score where there is one and read from the stat row where there is not: 124 fixtures of the season in progress have a box score and no score, because the score feed runs behind. Interceptions under passing are thrown; interceptions under defence are caught. Sacks and tackles for loss keep their halves. A dash is not a zero: a stat row carries only the phases that player appeared in.
