Pretty cool but it goes both ways. There are ultra-conservative teams that are just as successful. Ohio State under Jim Tressel was one. In the HS ranks here in Ohio, Hilliard Davidson runs the veer/mid-line option and rarely passes. They have a 157-42 record in 16 years under Brian White, with 2 big school state championships without any real star power. In one state championship run they went undefeated and passed 60 times the entire year. Cincinnati Colerain is another, although they have the athletes to boot. All it takes is a solid defense that can generate stops and an offense that can burn clock. Easier said than done I know, but the formula works too.

that's not really what is meant by conservative in this context and it is also not about judging whether the team wins championships because anything can happen in a small sample and football championships are always based on 1 game. It's like people saying "Moneyball" doesn't work because the A's didn't win the WS.
