Though I have seen this logic expressed many times on this list, I have 
never understood why a 3 yd pass is supposedly more exciting than a 3 yd 
run.  I find a well executed play exciting whether it is a run or a pass.

Below are the first 15 plays of the OU game (Callahan scripts the 1st 15 
plays each week), play distribution:  9 runs, 6 pass attempts.  These 15 
plays resulted in five 3-and-out drives, not very exciting.  Through 8 
games, these play scripts have resulted in a total of 3 points (vs. Iowa 
State).

sack, run up the middle, complete pass, punt

run up the middle, run over tackle, imcomplete pass, punt

run over tackle, run up the middle, run around end, punt

complete pass, run over tackle, complete pass. punt

run over tackle, run around end, incomplete pass, punt
