4th quarter TOP

[TIDE24]

I noticed this the last 4 weeks or so, so I decided to see how we have done on the year. Our avg. TOP in the 4th quarter this year is 10:04. Only one game we did not "win" TOP in the 4th (ULM). This team has finished strong and converted first downs in the 4th quarter to run out the clock. They have FINISHED.

WI - 10:13
MTSU - 11:16
OM - 9:27
ULM - 5:30
UGA - 11:08
ARK - 9:48
A&M - 9:24
TN - 11:41
LSU - 12:12
MSU 10:02
CS - 9:38
AU - 10:29

That's what it means to close - awesome stats, thanks.

Very impressive. Here's hoping we continue that trend all the way to #16. RTR!

What was the problem in that ULM game? Were we trying to save their coach's job?

Great stat. Our defensive depth and Henry's size makes the fourth quater a nightmare for other teams.

I don't consider stats for games like ULM even relevant

Agree - looks like we had a couple of quick scoring drives then cleared the bench.

I really think this has more to do with being ahead than being close, but I see where you're going with it.

It feels good to know we have a team that knows how to finish games.

He said "to close" (verb), not to be close. "To close" - as in "to finish"

The 9 min. 18 sec. drive against LSU to close out the game was a thing of beauy.

To be asinine and greedy, I'd still would have liked to hung another 6 on 'em.

That's how you take the air out of the ball!

Amazing stat, thanks for sharing it.

I can't ever decide which inflicts more pain - scoring again or taking a knee on their five yard line. Taking a knee - showing pity - is kinda awesome, too...

it was EPIC.
ironically, LSU was the recipient of the very thing they love to do to their opponents late in the game!!
Les Miles historically loves to rotate 3 or 4 RBs off his bench late in the 3rd and or early 4th quarter to wear down his opponent, essentially imposing his will on them and MAKING THEM LIKE IT!! He did that last year, saving Fournette for the 4th quarter to demoralize our team. it didn't work.

it was the Crimson Tide running down their throats this last game and there was nothing they can do to stop it even when they knew Bama was just going to run run run....

I absolutely love taking the air out of the ball in the 4th Q. It usually means the other team is tired of being beat on and we have made their ... quit!
