We've all heard the saying.
At First impression, our OFFENSE looks amazing and super explosive. But is it "efficient "?
We ranked 7th in scoring!
- Excellent
We ranked 1st in scoring for the 1st Qtr!
- excellent again!
But what about 2nd qtr?
- 59th...
Well we had a good 1st qtr so we can drab a little on the 2nd qtr maybe. But an explosive offense will pick it up in the 2nd half!
So what about 3rd qtr?
- 29th...
Not awful...but we're kind of in a lull.
What about this saying?
" Its not about how you start but HOW YOU FINISH "
So 4th qtr scoring!
- 47th....
All the while this 3 qtr lull is happening and we're only possessing the ball for 24 mins a game .
Time of possession
- 130th or, dead last.
We ranked 7th in scoring but 13th in points per play...
That's not bad really. So we're getting a good amount of plays (opportunities) and on average are doing decent with overall scoring.
HERE'S THE PROBLEM: We're getting
a good number of continous opportunities early on BECAUSE the defense is getting STOPS in early half of the game.
But as you look at our 2nd and 3rd qtr output.(59 and 29th) ..we're not really pouring it on the opponent, IN ADDITION to not using a lot of time .
So our defense has gotten turnovers and stops, but our offense hasn't really put things away and now we're gassed...
Again: We have gotten offensive possessions....so it's not like the other team is just chewing up clock and keeping our offense off the field. NO...it's our offense getting off the field too quickly with many scorless possessions and putting our average defense RIGHT BACK on the field.
THIS was the difference between
10-3 and 7-6 imo
I just wanted to present this so that everyone can see that it's not that we have great offense and a bad defense...NO, we just play at a slightly Above average level as an overall team.
Great Recruiting will help obviously, but please I encourage you all to take a closer look at what's actually happening out there.
We need improvement all around! Not just defense...
