This will change as the season goes because it would be extremely easy to look at film and figure this out.
Yeah, I agree with that, the total number was better than 14. However, from 2nd qtr on, it was run, run, pass......run, run, pass. That means you are passing in predictable situations, which predicts only for a higher level of difficulty in converting. Also, it doesn't negate the stat of 22 of 24 first downs being a run. I was amazed during Mett's year that he was able to convert as many challenging 3rd down and obvious passing situations that he did, and they are essentially asking BH to do the same..... at least after game #1. I surely hope that trend changes.
So If I told you Team A had ran 80 plays and Team B ran 61. Who do you think would win? I mean, the law of averages here is what we are talking about. Everyone on the planet would take more chances to score. I mean, we allowed Dak to throw the ball 54 times. LSU barely ran 60 plays. Its just not smart ball especially lacking Dline depth.
There is no direct correlation. Neither could win. Did we not win with fewer plays? Well all the coaches on the planet know that It depends on the circumstances. When you have the lead, the ball, and the most powerful running game in the conference, sometimes you take your time. He didn't want to. He had to because he was losing. And he lost.
Actually it is a positive stat that teams who run more plays often score more. No. Dak is a very good QB. Don't tell me they "didn't" want him to throw lol.
We were good at TOP last year too. 9th in the country. How many games did we lose again. So spare me your worthless arguments. I'm out of your league peasant.
