You can tell who's going to win in the first 10 plays

The adage says you can tell who will win based on the first ten plays for each team, so I checked out the first game vs WVU to see if it held true. I also looked at play 11 to see if there were any trends there.

WVU:
1. Rollout, pass, shorthopped. 0 yards
2. Screen pass left. -1 yards
3. Slant pass, knocked away. 0 yards
4. Quick slant, first down. 12 yards
5. Draw play. 2 yards
6. Sack. -4 yards.
7. Deep pass, triple coverage, knocked away, near pick, pressured. 0 yards
8. Quick pass, first down. 10 yards
9. Shovel pass. -2 yards.
10. Draw play. 2 yards
11. Incomplete pass, dropped. 0 yards

Total: 9 pass 2 rush 19 yards 2 first downs. 2 positive plays, 6 neutral, 3 losses.

VT:
1. Quick out. 4 yards
2. Check out, QB read. -1 yard
3. Quick slant, knocked down. 0 yards
4. Read Option? First down. 11 yards
5. Jet sweep. 5 yards
6. Inverted veer? First down. 5 yards
7. Veer? 3 yards
8. Option right. 0 yards
9. Scramble. 6 yards
10. Fake sweep, 1st down. 6 yards
11. Fake sweep, deep pass, 1st down. 29 yards

Total: 4 pass, 7 rush, 65 yards, 4 first downs.
