Time of possession means absolutely nothing. Why do they even bother with it?

TOP really doesn’t matter that much

When they chew up time when only averaging 3-4 yards per play, yes it does.

No it doesn’t. If you have turnovers on 5 consecutive possessions you lose regardless of TOP.

When handed the ball on very short possessions, you usually lose TOP

No defense is saving the game when the offense has 6 turnovers. TOP doesn’t really matter, but giving the ball back to

The defense did save the game against USU in the 3rd quarter last week.

4 to's doesn't help that Stat either

Yep. Many people are making this too difficult. 6 TOs (4 + 2 on downs) and you

Somehow we never took advantage that BSU went for the ball on every play.

Yep, it sucks. We probably beat Boise 8 times out of 10

They scored only 2 TDs. Both were off of fumbles around our own 25.

They had a FG off one TOV; plus twice we didn’t get points where we could have

Right. We gave up 12 total points on drives that didn’t start on our own 25 after a fumble. We gave up 9 total points

Bingo. Offense lost this (although defense didn't do any favors)

Some takeaways by our defense would have really helped to balance things out.

I’m sure they were trying. But it’s a lot easier to hold onto the ball than it is to take it away. Can’t count on the

When you punt you’re also turning it over.

Not remotely the same. When you punt you’re intentionally trading possession for field position.
