offensive strategy

the goal of offensive strategy is to move the ball to score more points than the opponent and to prevent the opponent from doing the same by reducing the amount of game clock time remaining, denying the opponent possession of the ball, and preventing them from advancing the ball into scoring position. In order to do so, coaches and players choose to execute selected plays based on a variety of factors including the opponent’s defensive strategy; the talent, skill, health, and experience of the players on both the offensive and defensive teams; the amount of time remaining before halftime or the end of the game; and the number of points that either team would need to score in order to take the lead and win the game.
