Message: [QUOTE="Millhouse, post: 1084646, member: 78"] no easy way to get the total number of possessions in college football. cfbstats doesn't have it as far as i can tell. i suppose you can add up turnovers and kick returns to figure it out but i don't have time for that i think there's something to this. basketball is really high scoring but it's just because there are a million possessions. each teams turn on offense isn't that successful, it's just repeated a lot. i think people might like for offensive players to beat the defense some percentage of the time hockey and soccer might be less popular because offensive possessions fail so much more often. i'm thinking of a horrible dump and chase hockey game where teams just trade worthless possessions or a soccer game with a million harmless midfield passes.
