i just read this on Mr SEC,i thought it was an interesting read,showing the differences,between up tempo teams and the slower snap times

"To see exactly what impact those up-tempo offenses have had on their defensive counterparts, we’ve pored over a number of SEC statistics from 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012. We wanted to see if going all no-huddle and lickety-split on offense took a toll on a team’s defensive performance. Many have made that case in recent years, including those of us here at MrSEC.com."

Sure You Wanna Speed It Up? Faster Offenses Lead To Weaker Defenses In The SEC

other than the Cam Newton team,the slower snapped time teams did better

i wonder how much up tempo coach Jones teams will be ?will it be a hurry up and get to line and make adjustments from the formation or a hurry up and get the ball snapped type?

That's not really a fair comparison....With Bama, Georgia, LSU, etc Defenses makes all other defenses look weaker by comparison, no matter what Scheme the Offense runs.

I'm sure we will have a rule of some kind against up tempo offenses in the near future. Some coaches are already complaining.

I am not entirely sure that I am correctly following their line of argument, but, if I am, this is hardly surprising. Faster, uptempo offenses compress time of possession, thus leading to more total possessions and more opportunities for offenses to gain yardage and defenses to surrender that commodity. The descriptor used by the article's author, in that case, is misleading. If, in fact, this strategy contributes to fatigue of defensive personnel, as some have suggested, that would be another story. On the other hand, why should such a pace fatigue defenders more than offensive personnel if both platoons on a given team practice at the same pace?

Prime example LSU. The only reason they were remotely successful is their defense, it sure wasn't their elite passing game. Although, I will say, their running game was substantial with that freshman, but he is suspended or kicked off the team for some reason.

Do you think Bama and LSU have had great teams because

A: Their offense huddled

Or

B: They recruited well, coached well, and were superior in talent and scheme come gameday.

Should be pretty obvious.

Up tempo use is to take advantage of better conditioned players as well as to reduce personnel changes and the use of specialists on D. Imagine the use of an up tempo offense when Mt. Cody was playing for Bama. Dude would have been on the sidelines most of the game or DOA at the local hospital. Obviously Oregon is most famous for it because the tempo and scheme helped them compete well against the better programs with lesser talent. Once the better programs figure it out it provides less advantage.

I like up tempo with the roster Jones has to work with now. It's going to make it more difficult for opposing DC's to game plan this first season since they can only look at Cincy's past games to analyze schemes. Insert our better athletes and add a few wrinkles. Could get interesting.

lol now that could be true.but them are some interesting stats.one of the reasons that the defenses looked so good could be because they were well rested, because of the ball control and yes i know they are really talented

I know CBJ wants to run an up tempo offense,i was wondering which way he runs it,i really don't remember how he ran it against UT,from looking at the stats though,time of possession seems to be highly critical,which we all know

Our offense will be at best average. Our defense will pay that price in the second half. Works for me. Sets the tone for the future.

just looked at Cincy's time of possession last season. looks like they averaged just under 30 min a game. and TOP did not necessarily correlate to Ws or Ls.

Auburn's defense when they won the NC was extremely porous, but they stepped up when they had to. Quarters 1-3 were terrible, but they held their own in the 4th...

the problem with the defenses is the coaching staffs not conditioning the defenses the same way. They condition their offenses to run a certain way, but then allow their defenses to run slower and it causes inconsistency. I think CBJ is conditioning both sides the same, so it may be a different story.

The typical offense runs ~60-70 plays per game or around 12-13 possessions a game. Oregon type offenses try to run ~95-100 and around 17-18 possessions a game. And if they are paired with another offense such as Tennessee who is trying to run 90+ plays a game. Then both defenses are going to be on the field a lot, and if they do not condition well, they will have a lot of trouble.
