Week 4: UC Davis @ North Dakota State what happened in San Diego is we were highly efficient on offense but let some scoring opportunities get away such as the turnover in the red zone and getting field goals in the red zone. — Riveraggie
This seems like an oxymoron, that the offense was efficient, except when they weren't. Looking at the stats, what sticks out to me is that Maier had two runs for a loss of 6 yards. The USD QB had 8 runs for a net of 19 yards. How many of those 19 yards resulted in 1st downs? Looks like 17 of them:
1 - 4th and goal at the 1 for a TD.
2 - 3rd and 5, rush for 10 (+ a personal foul for another 15 yards)
3 - 3rd and 4, rush for 6 to the UCD 4, which set up the near TD at the end of the game.
