Georgia literally hired a offensive/passing guru, and went from an also ran to national champ. Not sure how anyone would cite to them as to a good example of a "run first" mentality. They finally went away from it ... and then they finally got over the hump. Michigan was a running team. Good for them, they were the first throwback champ since the SEC went full spread about a decade ago. They may be the last lol. But Harbaugh is a really good coach and identifies talent well, hence his plethora of draft picks and consistent winning.
As for the crime data, the 2023 data is complete. Murders were down 12%. Other serious crimes were down. You can argue that we don't have final numbers on Q1 2024 ... and that'd be correct. But the final numbers are still going to show a huge decline. This isn't cherry picking, it's a basic understanding that the outstanding data is unlikely to be widely variant from the data we already know.
