IMO, In a low scoring game where your defense is playing well and/or the other teams offense has been struggling all day and you have a 7 or more point lead , you trust your defense and have your offense run as much time off the clock and not turn the ball over on anything but a punt. Passing the ball has a higher percentage of running less clock (incomplete) and a higher percentage of turning the ball over.  The opposite situation would be a high scoring game that you are in a dogfight.  Both offenses are moving the ball well, both defenses are playing poorly and it appears the team to score last has the best chance of winning.  Then you get more aggressive and your #1 goal becomes possessing the ball as long as you possibly can and maybe score some points in the process.  That wasn't the situation yesterday for Michigan nor was it the situation for the Packers in the NFCCG with Seattle.</p></blockquote><p></p>
