    Like to see Stick show some improved clock management in two minute situations whether on him or coaches. Still doesn’t look great on tape.

    Personal preference would be to see more clock run down prior to all snaps ala Brock.

    Unless you are significantly ahead this is a poor tactic, assuming that your team’s true talent is better than your opponent’s.

    Come on now, what could we possibly have to gain by giving ourselves more opportunities to use our skilll advantage?

    Some say it's a backward place. Narrow minds on a narrow way, but I make it a point to say. That that's where I come from.

    Works at blackjack table not in football. Scoring differences and huge turn negative variables.

    You were happy we kicked the FG at the end of the 2nd today too, right?

    It's exactly the same as blackjack. We have an advantage, the more chances we give ourselves to use that the more often good things are going to happen. I'm not saying go Stitt in the deal, but to deliberately shorten the game is an advantage for the underdog every single time.

    I'd like to see improved clock management from the whole team. Having to burn 2 TO's because the play clock is winding down is not something I expect from an experienced team.

    Why not go all Stitt?

    It is apparent that stitt and chip Kelly and others following this paradym are saddled with inferior talent, and limited learned playbook. Am I missing some championships produced out of this play style?

    Perhaps a limited number of plays with a predictable net positive gain (just run power?) over time should be run as fast as possible against teams ndsu is significantly better than, and simply turn the robots speed down as slow as possible when the opposing team is better?

    No rain, wind, snow, suspended players, colds, injuries, field position, fatigue, talent gaps, psychology, or pick 6s at the casino.

    Just a predictable positive result versus a guy you are feeding free drinks.

    And if the casino is down after 60 minutes they simply keep dealing.

    Be great to beat a team you are clearly better than by a few more touchdowns though.

    I get taking a more statistical approach to football coaching strategies, but the key is/will be understanding all the variables that really are involved in a what is a very complex model. For example, what effect does lengthy extended playing time have on a top tier aggressive defense? What is the statistical effect of extremely short breaks for the defense, even if the offense scores quickly. How do those things affect yards and points given up over the course of a game? My anecdotal experience of watching 40+ years of football is that performances of very good defenses drop off significantly when time of possession rises too high for the other team, and also when time between possessions is shortened. We've all seen lots of games where the defense are able to take control early on, but fade badly in the 2nd half. So while reducing opportunities through slowing down the pace would seem to have a negative output when you have superior talent, is it offset more by the increased productivity of the defense? By speeding up the game, are you actually neutralizing the superior talent you have on defense? That's my theory why the Chip Kelly, Stitt, etc. philosophy doesn't necessarily work out very well in some environments.
