obviously deliberate. Give up the element of surprise a little, but for the greater good. Ran down the clock adroitly at the end. Not sure why they called the exact same play three times during the last series, but it seemed like RichRod wanted to spring that last play for another TD; would have been sweet.

I used recalcitrant today and felt good about it. Thought I'd share

Regarding TOP was that it didn't matter--becuase UM sucked at it and well, peeps just want to believe what they want to believe.
Win this battle all the time and you will win most of the time.
Just like recruiting. Get the most guys with the most stars and you will win most of the time.

TOP is an overrated stat anyway. If you're losing the TOP battle because you're scoring quickly, there's no harm in that.

I disagree. Controlling the TOP was a great move today, especially when you go up early like we did.

What else is Pam Ward going to talk about if we are unlucky enough to have her cover a game? She will be.... speechless.

I feel a lot better talking about whether or not TOP is important when we just dominated it, rather than the other way around.

sorry, forum hiccup -> double post

I loved the TOP stats today. We beat UConn at their own game. We had the ball for 21 minutes in the second half and damn near ran out the clock on the last drive when we took over at 9:45 in the 4th. M's final drive - 15 plays, 51 yards and 8:24 consumed! As we all know, this offense is dangerous if executed properly.
