Of course if we had more 3 and done posses ions like our first one, that statistic would be beyond moot. --- On Tue, 11/17/09, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: > >The CBS analyst kept talking about South Carolina running a number of plays - >the higher the number of plays the more likely they were to win. > >I kept disagreeing. > >Granted if the CBS analyst meant that - SC kept moving the ball down the field >the whole game - ok - I agree - but why didn't he say that - and that is too >obvious - so I don't think he meant that. > >My point was - the way that we rotate defensive players - and the depth that >we have - we look as strong and fast in the 4th quarter as we do in the first >quarter - if not stronger and faster. > >Whereas most opposing offenses tend to wear down during the game - our defense >usually gets stronger.
