in 83 neb scored 50 pts a game and ran less than 60 plays a game most of them runs. how is that possible if pace of play is the only way to score more points? you still need to run plays that work

You just quoted one instance from more than 30 years ago. My only response is to make that observation.

Low and close works better in basketball because it's easier to score and the three pointer is so valuable. It isn't nearly as effective in football because it's much harder to score and you can't score in as volatile chunks.

The analogy still holds--TDs are worth a lot more than FGs.

And two pointers are worth a lot more than free throws. But there isn't a football equivalent to the three pointer.
