Need more evidence that time of possession is the most meaningles­s of football stats? Just look at last Saturday’s Trezevant-KIPP Academy game.

The Bears, ranked first in the state in 2A, won 36-6 despite (or maybe because of ?) running just 10 plays from scrimmage. Here’s how it broke down: Opening kickoff returned for a touchdown. Three plays. Touchdown. One play. Touchdown. Three plays. Touchdown. Then in the third quarter, they had a two-play touchdown drive to get the lead to 36-0 and start a running clock before running one play at the end of the game.

Efficiency, thy name is Trezevant.
