pace of play


I think can play a huge factor in how well you run the ball. Obviously HUNH teams are in the minority, and the speed at which the offense operates is much more likely to tire out opposing defenses, making rushing later in the game definitively easier.

But AU was #1 in rushing yards and only #6th in plays per game.

AU ran 86 more plays than USCe in 2013 but outgained them by nearly 1200 yards.

That is not pace of play, that is domination.
