A Renewed Appreciation for the Fast Pace
I'm watching a few minutes here and there of the National Title Game and man talk about boring. It really demonstrates just how slow a game can go!
Also seeing Alabama get creamed is somewhat fun, it seems they thought they should win just for showing up!

Re: A Renewed Appreciation for the Fast Pace
That receiver for Clemson making those one-handed circus catches has been pretty entertaining.

Clemson runs the spread and often goes just as fast as Yost. The second half slowed down considerably as Clemson slowed it down on purpose to eat clock.

Wow. I didn’t find that game to be boring at all. Lawrence was incredible and Ball made some insane catches. I wasn’t excited to watch the game but I thought it was highly entertaining.

Re: A Renewed Appreciation for the Fast Pace
One thing about the fast pace that is easy to forget with it being effective for us this year is that it only works if you get first downs. It just puts the defense back on the field quicker if it doesn't work. Like it is more harmful to go three and out, or even punt after one or two first downs in the fast pace offense than it otherwise is.
It's easy to watch a game as a neutral party and like the fast pace offense to see either the play or at least the incomplete pass and punt quicker with less dead time, but it's different if it's OUR defense that has to go back on the field quick after a three and out.

Re: A Renewed Appreciation for the Fast Pace
Is there empirical evidence to suggest that a defense is more likely to give up points when they have been off the field for less time? I doubt you can find it, considering that field position is much more likely to be the number one factor for a defense's ability to prevent points.GameFAQSAggie wrote: ↑January 7th, 2019, 10:53 pmOne thing about the fast pace that is easy to forget with it being effective for us this year is that it only works if you get first downs.

Re: A Renewed Appreciation for the Fast Pace
You are probably correct that overall field position is the most consistent factor of whether a defense gives up points. However, it is also likely true that an up-tempo offense keeping its defense on the field longer due to not advancing down the field works against the defense later in the game and that defense surrenders more points later in the game.YoungBloodAggie wrote: ↑January 8th, 2019, 7:34 amIs there empirical evidence to suggest that a defense is more likely to give up points when they have been off the field for less time?

Re: A Renewed Appreciation for the Fast Pace
I think there are too many factors to even draw that conclusion. One thing we know is that, aside from triple option teams, there is an optimal number of snaps per offensive possession. Most teams are more likely to make a critical mistake (fumble, interception, sack, etc.) if they stay on the field too long. Depth is also a consideration. If you have more talent on your bench defensively than your opponent does offensively, let the defense play. If anything, it will result in more turnovers and success for your team (sound familiar?).bwcrc wrote: ↑January 8th, 2019, 9:36 amYou are probably correct that overall field position is the most consistent factor of whether a defense gives up points.
