Analysis: Lost 1 Game In 4 Years When 80 Plays Snapped

[smumustang1980]

Coach Morris has lost only one game in four years when his team had at least 80 Plays on offense, according to Chad Morris staff's analysis. I love this Aggie mathematician, thank you.

Are you sure he said SMU and did not mean Clemson?

[Grant Carter]

I am certain he meant Clemson.

[Charleston Pony]

pretty sure they were referring to Clemson

Did SMU run 80 offensive plays even once in the last 4 years? Those QB trots to the sideline ate up the clock.

So did they they only have one game where they snapped 80 plays?

When he says "we" he means Clemson, I'm 95% sure.

Offensive coordinator Joe Craddock, who was a graduate assistant at Clemson last season, said SMU’s intent is to run at least 80 plays per game. So the linemen have to be ready.

“Those guys have done a really nice job,” Craddock said. “They took it upon themselves, had a lot of discipline this summer losing weight getting in shape and getting ready to go.”

How did the staff arrive at the goal of 80 plays a game?

“We’ve studied ourselves. … We only had one game in four years that we snapped the ball more than 80 times and still lost,” Craddock said. “It’s the first goal on our what-it-takes-to-win chart.”

LOL

Coach Craddock was obviously talking about when he and Coach Morris offense at Clemson had run 80 plays in a game. No way SMU had 80 plays on offense anytime in recent years while the QB was walking miles a game just to talk to JJ between plays.

When the guys watch tape for offense, they watch Clemson tape.

SMU v Rutgers

SMU had 71 pass attempts and 28 rushes. Lost though

I apologize. I read that story quickly while working. Yeah, I thought to myself the 80 Plays was a lot for the Ponies but it was a great stat. Sorry fellows.

Yeah but it took 3 Overtimes which included 19 extra Offensive snaps-so exactly 80 snaps in regulation
