Assuming points scored per possession is a good KPI, TOP should matter in that it gives an offense/defense who is
controlling the game more or fewer opportunities to score.
So in that sense, TOP and rhythm are critical in my view. Does it matter only 5% vs 50% that you are ascribing above? Not quite sure. But I think it's much more relevant than 5%.
The time of possession statistic is all about control. It’s a remarkably good indicator of how well the offensive team is controlling the game vs. the defense.
So yes, both play a role and need to help each other out. Completely agree.
Where I diverge, is that our defensive schema is designed to allow the opponents more leeway to move the ball down the field in the hopes that they make a mistake along the way ceding TOP as they go. It's not an aggressively designed defense to stop the other teams without yardage gained.
This creates fewer opportunities for the offense to score and to get into the flow of the game.

Offense scored 38 and had multiple missed field goals. Seems they are doing fine. Can they be better? Sure.

Case in point: The second half our offense seemed to perform much better during the times the defense would get

USU scored on their first possession for the first time this year. Our defense made a 1-4 crappy USU offense

LOL! Scoring 38 with 2 missed field goals made a crappy USU defense look good. Okay man. In your world TOP doesn't

This thread shows you defending the defense. Just own it. You like the scheme. Any counter points are dismissed.

If the offense sucks it's the offenses fault. If the defense sucks it's also the offenses fault. Got it.

Amazing, I know! I'm literally saying if the defense can't get off the field there is a rhythm to the game that

Just because I used your technique against you of writing a reverse doesn't mean I admit to that. I've stated my
