[QUOTE="Vespidae, post: 969169, member: 2957"] One of the things I used to enjoy about the old coaches (Bear Bryant, Dodd, Bo), is how simple their game plans were. Bear’s were often on one side of a piece of paper. The stats are that your likelihood of scoring is proportional to your starting field position. Get the ball on your own ten yard line and the likelihood of scoring is ten percent. Bear’s entire game plan was ”get to midfield”. He loved a good punt … start at the twenty, get 15 yards, punt? Dammit, ok. Longest time play in the game (7-8 second), so you get good TOP and the odds are back in your favor. Stop them, change possessions and you’re at midfield and didn’t make a mistake. He won the SEC at Kentucky running six plays on offense. Dodd said the same. Keep the game close, win it in the fourth. Always go for an TD if inside the ten. (His stats shows GT was 50% likely to score, so 7 beats six, all day long.) Bill P said his entire game was turnover ratio and hidden yardage. Very difficult to lose if you are +2 in turnovers and have more than 100 yds in hidden yardage. CPJ famously once said he didn’t care about defense. Just score 28 points and win TOP and it’s a W, statistically speaking. I don’t hear that from anyone in todays game. Very few. It’s more about NIL and the portal. [/QUOTE]
