My colleague Poseur at LSU blog And the Valley Shook has a very simple maxim (conveniently called Poseur’s Law), which says that if a team holds the advantage in the run of play but does not turn it into points, the advantage dissipates.
In the first half on Saturday, Vanderbilt had five drives, all five of which resulted in scoring chances. The Commodores ran 37 plays in the first half, averaged 7.5 yards per play, and had a 54.1 percent success rate.
Vanderbilt scored 10 points in the first half. When that is how you are performing, you should be scoring a lot more than 10 points.
