Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 1679790, member: 27"] Agree. The new staff wants to run at least 100 plays on offense each game. One of the primary reasons is to wear out the defense. College defenses are used to defending around 70 plays a game. When they play Syracuse, the plan is that they reach that 70 play barrier sometime late in the third quarter. The staff says once defenses are extended past their normal limit, they tend to collapse. Very quickly. Assuming the new offense has some success and we are able to avoid a lot of 3 and outs, we should do much better in the fourth quarter of games in the future. Which is good because last season, we had to have been one of the worse teams in the country in the fourth quarter. We got worn down and got dominated that quarter in many games. [/QUOTE]
