matter what.

Now, if you score enough points in the process, you can overcome it. The problem MU has had a lot of times this century is that we either score fast or go 3 and out. And we go 3 and out WAY too much.

So, as I acknowledge, and you mention, there are circumstances where ToP is not a big concern. BUT, every football team everywhere is better off when they add 10 minutes to their ToP, even if you eliminate a score (3-7 points).

          Dooley is more of an offensive Head Coach - BOILERTIGER MU - 7/5 18:00:16
          DD has been involved in a lot of good offenses. - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/5 17:15:53
               I generally consider DD to be good talent. - alwaysright MU - 7/5 17:18:51
