Some stats matter and some are rather meaningless. Like time of possession at college football games. It doesn't matter much. At least you can't determine the winner of a game by looking at that stat.

I grew up watching BYU football in the glory days of Marc Wilson, Gifford Nielsen, Jim McMahon, Steve Young, Robbie Bosco, and Ty Detmer. The passing attack was the best in the nation for many years.
