Duke had 67 plays for 350 yards. (5.2 yards/play)59 yards rushing? Against Elon? Elon has the ball for 33 minutes? Got a very long way to go on offense. Defense looked good.
Elon had 60 plays for 140 yards. (2.3 yards/play)
1. FCS and overmatched G5 teams go into games against P4 teams intent on winning TOP because it's the only way to stay relatively close.
2. Duke's offense wants to be up-tempo and that's going to mean some 6-10-play drives that only take 2-3 minutes off the clock.
3. If you're a defensive player, would it be harder to be on the field for 10 snaps that occur in 2:30 of game time? Or 10 snaps that occur over 5 minutes of game time?
