The pace fight

CMU snaps every 34.0 s, M-OH every 31.8 s in neutral situations. Each extra 10 plays moves the total about 4.5 points. The model projects 115 plays against a 131 average. OFFENSE / DEFENSE columns are EPA a play above the FBS mean; negative defense is stingier.

OFF = EPA/play gained above the FBS mean, DEF = allowed above it (negative is stingier). Impact = model points.
