April 10 – An interesting look at the NCAA stats … How many times have you heard the saying that penalties will get you beat? The truth of the matter is that a lack of penalties will get you beat even quicker. Of the top 10 teams in college football last season in least yards penalized, six of them had losing records. With that list including such teams as Northwestern, Virginia, Vanderbilt, Navy, Air Force, and Stanford, it looks like the lack of penalties points more toward how smart you are than how good you are. Incidentally, the national champion Florida Gators finished the season ranked 109th out of 119 schools in least yards penalized and only one team in the final top 10 made it into the top 35 least-penalized teams.

And now we know why DD was so lax on discipline.

I would think it would depend on what kind of penalties a team is getting called for...

Absolutely. Taking a pass interference penalty over getting beat on the deep ball is smart play. Unsportsmanlike conduct is moronic.
