That is not just pace and fourth downs. This offense is pretty efficient. We are not putting that much (47th) or going for it much (69th nice)

This is like a modern version of a grind it out offense
 
Averaging 81 plays per game vs 86 last year

Haven't run more than 88 plays in a game this year, and that was in two of three games.

Lot of reasons for why we're not going for it as much - we seem to be better getting the ball over the sticks this season (we've had relatively few 4th and inches type scenarios), we've been more effective running the ball in for scores in goal line situations, we're attempting field goals at a historic rate for our program, and most of this season we've been playing with a lead.
