I don't think it puts that much pressure on the defense. The Bills kept winning the AFC Championship game every year and they'd lose the time of possession battle huge every game.

Here's Sanders final year in college - it's widely regarded as the single greatest year ever by a college football player. I think pretty much everyone but me considers it that anyway....

1. Barry Sanders, Oklahoma State (1988)

The only serious question when composing this list was "Who's No. 2?" Sanders season was the only college football player's campaign to rank in ESPN.com's "End of the Century" list covering all sports. Rattle this off next time your bar buddies say someone's having a great season:

# Sanders rushed for 2,628 yards, an NCAA record.

# He had 3,249 total yards, an NCAA record.

# Sanders scored 39 TDs (37 rushing, 1 kick return, 1 punt return), an NCAA record.

# He averaged 7.6 yards per carry.

# He rushed for 300+ yards in four games.

That was during the 11-game regular season. In the Holiday Bowl against Wyoming, he ran for 222 yards and 5 TDs. In three quarters. He sat out the fourth, as OSU won 62-14.

Oklahoma State finished the year ranked #11 in the country. They lost to only Nebraska and Oklahoma.

A large part of the reason the Bills were able to do that was with the K-Gun offense they kept the opposing defense just as tired as their defense was by never giving them a chance to recuperate between plays. While the Bills were on defense the other teams were often trying to slow the game down to give their defense a chance to catch their breath. When you are going 3 and out or scoring a quick TD every time as Detroit did then when the other team gets on offense they are picking up the pace and trying to wear out your defense cause their own defense stays well rested.
