If you cannot score and score efficiently then the odds of you being an elite football team decrease drastically. I know you’re sitting there thinking to yourself, ” thank you captain obvious”, but when you break down the game of football, it’s really all about scoring more points and allowing fewer points than the other guy which is the reason you’ve seen a revolutionary boom in offensive strategy and production over the last 10-15 years in college football.
But what is actual scoring efficiency and why is it so important? Scoring efficiency is simply the total points a team scores, divided by the total plays run on offense.
