You have absolutely no way of knowing this. We might not have scored at all if we had tried to get cute with the play clock and ended up needing a 4th down conversion still 25 yards from the endzone.
Even with a no-huddle hurry-up offense it takes 15-20 seconds per play unless you go out of bounds. Even when we had 2nd down at the 4 yard line it could have taken us as many as 7 plays to score. And once a team is forced o either throw or run to the sidelines it makes it much easier for the defense.
