re: McCaffrey Is the Only Player in USA to Lead His Team in Rushing and Receiving

The TD argument doesn't hold as much water for me. If Stanford moved the ball but struggled to put points on the board then maybe it would be a better point. But apart from the opening half of the first game of the season, Stanford was a pretty well-oiled offensive machine. They just spread the wealth around when it came time to score.

Stanford scored more TDs and more points than Bama. A greater percentage of Stanford's possessions resulted in TDs and a greater percentage of their red zone trips resulted in TDs.

To be honest, Bama was the team that had trouble scoring and finishing drives. Alabama ranked 36th in TDs per game, 60th in TD percentage and 102nd in red zone TD efficiency, all of which were the worst among top ranked teams. Alabama's defense was just VERY good at getting them the ball back quickly and setting them up with good field position.
