A lot of you have the 8 year old playing madden mind set that a run is a waste of a down. It’s ok you will understand football one day

Nonsense. Now, I'll agree you can't run on every first down. Perhaps we shouldn't run so much on first down, but to suggest that calling a run on first down (if you're a team built to run across from a favorable defensive alignment) is always bad is football ignorance.


this is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.



I am so glad that fans don't get to call our plays.

Good stat. Perhaps year of watching Les Miles RRP sequences over and over again has caused confirmation bias to notice it when Ensminger calls it - less often as your data shows.

Do you guys even read? the article looks at 10 years of data to back up the claim and you say nonsense

It is a break down of the NFL so if you want to say it doesn’t apply to college ok but it isn’t nonsense
