It’s and indicator of an indicator toward final score. There’s more than one way to win and we’ll see new and creative

That’s not a strategy for consistent winning though. Gonna lose plenty of those.

I blame RPO. So much better since it was basically ditched.

Its a terrible strategy. We won in spite of it,not because of it.

Much more important that TOP, but not worth sacrificing a shift in points per drive.

I disagree. Most offenses in college football have proven unable to

Yeah, the offense has been pretty poor in the last decade. Dependent on defensive bailouts more often than not. But you
