This is what scares me the most after watching the UTM game. Our defense seemed gassed in the 4th quarter, despite the fact that our time of possession was almost equal to UTM (29:20 vs 30:40). If we can't play disciplined, assignment defense (HAHA!) and solid man-to-man pass coverage (HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!) the Owls are just going to grind it all day long. Meanwhile, when our offense does manage to see the field, will we be handing the ball off to Pat Jackson, Josh Samuel, Ron Wiggins, and Uriah West to let them pound the Owl defense into submission and rest our own D? NO! We'll throw it. A lot! Live and die by the big play, yes siree! When we score, we'll score quickly. When we don't score, we'll punt quickly. We'll be lucky to hold the ball more than 25 minutes on offense. I just crunched numbers on every offensive possession we've had this season. I excluded all end of half drives that did not end with a score. Our average drive on the year lasts 2:48, consists of 6 plays, and ends in a punt. Only 25.6% of our drives end with an offensive score. 17.9% end with a touchdown. Our average touchdown drive (7 on the year) us 8.7 plays and lasts for a staggering 3:13. Our drive breakdown consists of: 7 Touchdown Drives 3 Missed Field Goals 3 Made Field Goals 2 Turnovers (INT/FUM) 2 Turnovers on Downs And a whopping 22 Punts Truthfully the fact we've only turned the ball over twice really impressed me a lot. But yeah. We're definitely not a long driving, grind-out-the-clock type of team. Very telling - Our average drive on the year lasts 2:48, consists of 6 plays, and ends in a punt. |

More fun stuff - KSU is averaging 363.3 yards of total offense per game, obviously the vast majority of that in the run game. Averaging 5.2 yards per play. Average TOP per game is 35:39 and on 4th down conversions they are 6-7 (85.71 %).

Non-offensive touchdowns. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Those were not included in my totals. All of my stuff is based on offense only. |

Just pointing out the only reason we beat UNA was due to a 100 yard fumble return and UTM isn’t close if not for a NOT. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

The moment the Owls touch the ball they'll grind the clock. If that's the case, our D will be out there a long time and be gassed. This is what scares me the most after watching the UTM game. Our defense seemed gassed in the 4th quarter, despite the fact that our time of possession was almost equal to UTM (29:20 vs 30:40). If we can't play disciplined, assignment defense (HAHA!) and solid man-to-man pass coverage (HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!) the Owls are just going to grind it all day long.

We'll be lucky to hold the ball more than 25 minutes on offense. That is it point blank. I am seeing 20 minutes - and even then, only if we take the air out of the ball when we have possession. This game could set a record for disparity in time of possession. |
