Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 1215506, member: 289"] THE SYSTEM: The offense wins a play if they get a third of the way to a first down on first down, half way to a first down on second down or gets a first down on third or fourth down. Otherwise the defense wins. Any score is a win for the team that scores. Any turnover is a win for the team that winds up with the ball. The kicking team wins a kick-off where the other team winds up with the ball from their own 25 in to their goal line: outside of that and the receiving team won. The kicking team wins any punt that produces a new +40 yard change in the line of scrimmage or forces the other team to begin from their 20 yard line in. Any successful place kick is a win for the kicking team. I’ve put the yards to go in parenthesis if it’s other than 10 yards. Penalties are simply tacked onto the play before the play is evaluated if they didn’t nullify it. If the penalty did nullify the play or was a dead ball foul, it’s listed separately.

In that game, Pittsburgh won 114 of 160 plays. This game was 72-78. We lost primarily because we were atrocious on third down 1-10. Of course we didn’t set ourselves up for third down conversions with effective first down rushing plays, (3-9). We also gave up that opening kickoff runback and eschewed a makeable field goal for a pooch punt. Sometimes that’s all it takes to lose by three touchdowns. [/QUOTE]
