Winning the battle, losing the war: Oregon State football's middle eight domination non-factor in loss
Briefly

"The Middle Eight is a critical concept in football strategy, describing the key eight minutes that can influence the game's outcome significantly. Teams that master this period often dictate the flow of the game."
"Winning the coin toss and deferring to the second half sets up an opportunity to control the game. By securing a stop before halftime, a team can create momentum that carries over to the second half."
"This strategy emphasizes not just scoring, but also time management. By milking the clock effectively before halftime, a team maximizes their chances of seizing control and scoring after the break."
