That’s certainly one opinion…but not the only way to win a football game.
No shot clock…strategy should have a place. I can see kids run up and down the court at the play ground.
You look at it incorrectly. It’s really this simple…it’s hard for the other team to score when they don’t have the ball. By keeping a dynamic offense off the field you not only slowly demoralize their defense…their offense is on the sideline tightening up. There are many ways to play a football game and I’m certainly not saying theirs is my favorite. But it is effective and it certainly is NOT playing to not lose. People who don’t like their style of play also probably want a shot clock in high school basketball.
He didn't really emerge until last season (had senior receivers ahead of him when he was a sophomore) then he really took off this season so I think what you are saying is spot on.
Disagree, even when they have a play maker the MO is always the same. Move the chains, eat the clock. Noone will turn down big chunk plays but they most certainly desire a short game and coach Wilkerson will tell you that straight to your face. They block well, tackle well and special teams is clearly a huge focus.
Funny story…ate at Zaxbys tonight with #2 and sat next to Leo Collins and Josh Russell (plus two other Memorial kids I didn’t know). We made fun of Tango together…LOL.
I showed up at the game in the wrong color pants, a player then, who has a 2024 GS player now....had to loan me his pants until Jack Jewell showed up with another pair right before the game started. LOL
That was a bit tongue and cheek from me. All conferences have up and down years, generally the SIAC seems to have been down a little this season. I agree with you...seems like a coin toss.

But had they stopped the clock when they were supposed to there would have been plenty of time left. Lower level games at the jungle have been weird as of late. Problem is volunteerism is down everywhere...folks things this stuff just happens by magic.
If it weren't for the clock operator (yes the clock should stop on 1st downs) GS 8th grade could crush HH at any other venue! 😉
Mt. Vernon did barely beat Washington as well....but we crushed Mt. Vernon.
