Consider these propositions:
1. Gametime experience is the most valuable resource for improving play
2. The team is better at some plays in the playbook than others.
3. It would be good if the team got better at their bad plays as much as possible
ergo if you take a lead early, a good strategy would be to dig deep into the playbook and bring out your weakest plays so you can get better at them. A perfectly calibrated version of this strategy would maintain a safe lead while running the weakest plays possible so that the team can improve and would result in a near-comeback by the opponent.

1. Is this a well-known strategy? It seems too obvious for someone not to have tried it, especially since backups are often given playing time for this exact reason. (Really, this strategy is play your starters but call their worst plays, rather than calling in the backups.)
2. Do we see evidence of this in the Baylor game? I don't think I really see enough to notice a pattern like this if it existed, but maybe some close watchers do see patterns like this.
3. You must admit that if this strategy was used, the Baylor game was managed perfectly.

Thanks, I'll take my responses offline.
