What are our opponents averaging? How much does the number matter if both teams

Obviously number of possessions should be close, but of more interest would be

There are a ton of different ways to slice it. Ultimately the only one that

Yes ultimately that's the case but other stats could show weaknesses.

But according to Riley Nelson, our defensive strategy for allowing teams to pick up 3rd and Long...

That's a blatant misrepresentation of what he said. I listened to exactly what he said on that show.

Anyone that tries to rationalize what is happening on the defense ...

Third down defense hasn't been good, but that doesn't mean it's OK to misrepresent what Riley Nelson said.

He still tried to rationalize it... just call the spade a spade... our 3rd down defense sucks...

3rd and long, “we’ve got them right where they want us”. That’s what we say every time right before they pickup the 1st.

So do you want to be above average or below average?

I don't see how it's relevant either way unless your opponents are getting more

Do you think you have a better chance at scoring with more possessions?
byubyu

But you have to apply that equally both ways.

Isn't our offense ahead of our defense is nearly every efficiency measure?

…which will result in more possessions for the opponent as well.

Low scoring games are an advantage to the underdog team.

That's probably technically true in general, but I doubt the effect is that big

This is true. It allows BYU to stay closer to more talented teams.

GFGH seems to have its own drawbacks. The OP is just providing the average as a point of comparison.

Now do 3 and outs. All “possessions” are not the same.
