Interesting College Football Stat regarding Spread Offenses...

and offenses in general in CFB.
Did you know that Oklahoma actually led FBS in plays-per-game last year, with 86.5?
I would've sworn that Oregon's Blur offense from the Spread Set would've lead in that category, but it was the Sooners.
They're actually more than a few snaps off the all-time record of 92.4 set by the 1970 Notre Dame offense.
I guess I just took for granted that Oregon's tempo yielded more snaps, & I had no clue that Oklahoma-even though they run an Spread Set offense with tons of Spread concepts-was running more plays than the Ducks.

Oklahoma LOVES getting off massive amounts of plays per game, with a lot of quick routes and quick runs, most of the game the Qb will just run the offense like a 2 minute version. Usually they'll run a play, and have another snapped in 15-20 seconds. This is why Oklahoma has to have a good Qb to win, that can regularly make plays and think on his feet, without one they flounder horribly a lot of times.

B/C Oregon's scoring drives were so much quicker.

Oklahoma has a better defense, too, getting off the field much quicker.

Points-per-game is a better statistic.
More than theirs is a good barometer of success.
