It seems to me that first 2 or 3 possessions sets the tone for the game. First 5 possessions could be the entire first half if you're playing someone like Navy, where you don't get many possession in an entire game.

If not just the 1rst possession or not the first 2 or 3 possessions, then should you just be looking at first half data? of 1rst qtr data?

I guess the first 5 possessions is interesting, but I'm not sure why 5 was chosen.

BTW, 2013 looks interesting because ND has gained more than 225 yards (in its 1rst 5 possessions) more times than any other time in the BK era at ND.
