Of course it's luck with college football in particular. In NFL pre mid 80s when passing liberalized greatly, many games were 3 and 7 point spreads with totals between 27 and 38 as possesions fewer and ground game emphasised with field position valued. Believe it or not, pre 1973 the total number of games with 40= pass attempts was around twenty with 19 teams throwing that much losing. Today, I just heard the Colts passed 40 times in first half (is that true just got home)
