It’s a major problem.

Offense had a significantly better Points scored per possession compared to

The offensive tempo is a small part of it too

This is the biggest indictment of Tuiaki

But Tuiaki thinks nothing is wrong

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

Football has rotating possessions.

Blueto

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

Jun 22, 9:03pm

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

mulletino

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

Just like in basketball

Take out the cupcake 2020 season and get back to me.

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

Corn Pop

If the defense is bad do you want to give teams more possessions?

Blueto

Jun 22, 9:04pm

If your offense averages more points per possession then it’s pretty obvious.

mulletino

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

Blueto

Jun 22, 9:15pm

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

Corn Pop

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

Corn Pop

Explain 21-4 with your theory

Blueto

Jun 22, 9:26pm

That's easy. Mostly good offense mixed with bad opponents in 2020, plus

Corn Pop

You don't have many double digit win seasons while having a "terrible" defense,

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:

Except the defense specifically won games. Utah, ASU, WSU, USC all games won by

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

Yes. Definitely scoring really fast and a lot of 3 and outs is the best scenario

palangi

I don't know why more teams don't just do that

here's to hoping

Jun 22, 11:33pm

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:

Hazzard

Jun 23, 9:29am

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

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