[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 868021, member: 265"] This is the equivalent of all that business in [I]Moneyball[/I] about getting on base. You can't score runs unless you get players on base and the more you get the better your chances are. In football, the equation is different: only the team with the ball can score. If your team holds onto the ball, two things happen a) the other side can't score (or, at least, not without a great D play) and b) your chances of scoring increase the longer you hold the ball. This is something I wish our present staff paid a [I]lot[/I] more attention to. I used to feel for Patenaude; his teams had always been run heavy until he came to Tech. And they won. Also, I think our trouble with Puke came more from sheer bad luck then anything else. The 2018 game is the best example. Still, there's no question that Cutliiffe always wanted to beat Tech real bad. And vice versa, of course. [/QUOTE]
