re: The Fun Factor-Houston and Herman vs LSU and Les

Teams like LSU and Alabama (preferred style of play) only need to run about 72-74 plays per game. The problem is LSU is severely under that at this point based on the 2-game average. They ran 69 plays in the last game with Etling. Harris got in 6 of those. Clearly the offense itself was more efficient because Danny was willing to check down as often as they gave him the opportunity.
