If TCU runs the ball 50 times

and throws 35, they win big by controlling the clock and possessions.

If they pass more than run, they lose.


It’s that simple.

He would really have been happy in the 60's or 70's, or as an Army fan. Otherwise...

If we can't throw well enough to win against Purdue, then we have a long season ahead of us. In 2014 we passed more than ran it. In 2016 we passed a little more. Last year we ran the ball a lot more. No no correlation there.

Once again, one of the best correlations is turnovers.

Here's my analysis:

If we (TCU) score more touchdowns and field goals we should win this game. It's that simple. Unless we give up 50 safeties. IT'S THAT SIMPLE!

Except that Purdue has a terrible pass defense and a decent run defense.
Being in the B10 you are sunk if you do not have a good run defense. I said that, but looking at last year's stats there are more pass-heavy teams in the B10 than run-heavy, based on yardage. Too much work to figure out number of run/pass plays per team.

The old stereotypes die hard. The idea that Big 12 teams are all wide-open and throw it every down and Big 10 teams are 3 yards and a cloud of dust (or rubber pellets these days) is a myth. As is the myth that the SEC is full of great defenses and crap offenses.

College football is played the same way all over. Some teams run it more, some teams pass it more, some teams are really good, some teams not so much, etc etc etc.

In his presser Tuesday, GP said (paraphrasing) that he disliked going against any offense that ran their offense well. Triple-option or spread, as long as they were good at what they do, that is the toughest. In other words execution. No mention of team that has best play calling.
