Unusual, but perhaps telling, stat: despite the fact that we have run 12 fewer plays, and have gained about 100 fewer yards,  we still have a time of possession advantage.  Maybe the coaches are intentionally trying to milk the clock to give the D as much time as possible to recover? or, we just run in and out of the huddle at an incredibly slow pace.  But sometimes I think that kind of slow pace can just drag everything down.

edit: I suppose one additional explanation for this is the low completion rate of the NW QB, who stops the clock with each incompletion.  Hogan actually has a great completion rate on those dink passes that gain 5 yards, so the clock keeps running.
