BYU runs one play every 29.01 seconds, 110th fastest in the nation

Interesting. What's the average for top 10 teams?

Baylor is 9th at 23.63 seconds/play

Interesting. I'm just curious if there's a trend one way or the other.

We've generally been playing with leads. That's clearly a big factor.

The team will function whether or not I decide anything.

The top teams in the country are all over the place with this stat

Tempo, in either direction, isn't bad in and of itself. This just lets you know how fast the BYU offense plays.

Wonder how that stat calculates time outs. I think BYU takes more than it's fair

If 23.6 is #9 and 29.01 is #110 — it doesn't really seem to me like that much of a difference. Does that 6.5 second

Over 30 minutes, it’s the difference between 62 and 76 plays.
