You don't have many double digit win seasons while having a "terrible" defense,
unless you're getting very creative in your definition of "terrible."

The offensive tempo is a small part of it too

This is the biggest indictment of Tuiaki

Not to mention that having the defensive players on the field for more plays leads to more injuries.

Football has rotating possessions.

You can play that game both ways. 10 possessions when average is 13.5? Not good.

How do you know? What is good? Winning? Would more possessions mean more
Blueto

The offense averages more points per possession. So…yes.

Listen to what you are saying… if our offense is more efficient at scoring

Limiting possessions because your offense doesn't leave the field = good

If the defense is bad do you want to give teams more possessions?
Blueto
6/22/22 9:04pm
If your offense averages more points per possession then it’s pretty obvious.

I'd compare it to a basketball team that runs a slow it down four corner

We don't have a ball control offense. We have a defense that can't get off the

If they are scoring on a majority of their drives, it makes no difference. Well,

Explain 21-4 with your theory
Blueto
6/22/22 9:26pm
That's easy. Mostly good offense mixed with bad opponents in 2020, plus

I think the bigger point here is playing to strength. When your O is your strength you get them the ball more.

'08 OU - Went to the national title game with a defense that gave up:

when you limit the number of possessions, it isn't a good argument to say you
here's to hoping

2020: Strength of schedule; 2021: weak pac 12 and an elite offense.

Look at the number of plays per game of cfb teams and tell me if you want to be

I wouldn't mind being number 12 on the list
here's to hoping
6/22/22 11:04pm
Yes. Definitely scoring really fast and a lot of 3 and outs is the best scenario
palangi
6/22/22 11:23pm
I don't know why more teams don't just do that
here's to hoping

But also #119. I'm not sure this list really tells us anything, by itself.

What it says a lot of plays/possessions doesn't necessarily equal success and

I noticed that Georgia and Cincy, #1 and #5 in Scoring D were also 2 of the lowest for Plays Run

I suppose it's a credit to our zone D on 3rd and 3..

If teams have a lot of 3 and outs, and BYU's offense didn't have a lot, then

There is only one reason to limit possessions:

Wouldn’t the offense’s time of possession be another important factor?

It's because Tuiaki gets praised for his low points given up
