AFA concerns me especially in light of how easily they dispatched CSU

I don't know if it matters. I've never understood why anyone cares about time of possession. The most overrated stat in my opinion. Sure the winnint team usually takes this, but they also usually end up running more plays. Also, does the fatigue of the defense really depend on how much clock time runs off with each play? I'd guess the number of plays or first downs is a much more important stat in this regard. I'd guess that in 2001, we got killed on time of possession through that awful 10-0 run.

your defense sucks.
you will need more plays to score enough. you will likely get less chances to make up for your D if AFA has the ball all game.
