But here’s the issue:

The point of an offense is NOT to just score points, it is to drain as much clock as possible while scoring points. (Assuming you aren’t losing by 2 scores without much time left)

A TD drive that takes 7 minutes is much more efficient than a TD drive that consists of 3 plays

Didn’t O and E say that their goal was to control the clock on offense? We all know how that worked out for them.

Why do you think a higher octane offense is just going to score quickly? A better offense doesn't equate to a Texas Tech air raid offense or an Oregan style quick strike offense. I mean I hate to give Alabama credit for anything, but their offense is scoring tons of points, moving the ball, and it's still a traditional style offense. I think for most Tiger fans a higher octane offense is one that isn't so predictable, scores touchdowns in the red zone, and looks to get our playmakers the ball in space.

This is the exact opposite of the truth.
