No Huddle Offense

If I understand correctly, they discussed this before last spring but had other things to address.

Ainge and Crompton are both very intelligent QB's... and nothing prevents you from getting back into a huddle.
 
Our WR dynamic is so weird. A ton of top-rated talent, and literally mere minutes of experience.

I don't know about that at all. Taylor and Shelley were the only 4 stars out of all or our recievers (besides the freshmen coming in). Briscoe, Rodgers, Hancock, and the rest of the WR's were all 3*. Swain and Smith were 4, and Meachem was a 5.
 
Berry isn't going to play QB for us. Actually, Lucas Taylor would probably be an excellent option QB. He ran it extremely well in high school. He tallied over 500 yards rushing by himself in just one game.

G. Jones was a good HS quarterback. He's an even better open field runner than Berry. His straight ahead speed isn't quite as good, but he's as quick as any prospect in the country from his class.
 
I think hefney did a good job but id like to see coker get some more chances. then again, hes got the bad habit of letting opposing players knock the snot out of him... still that 4.3 speed has to pay off

Coker runs guys over like crazy one on one, so he has great breaking tackle ability, but every time he goes up the middle he gets killed by D-linemen and linebackers that he can't see. If he improves his size some more, he might be the next Adrian Peterson. Don't worry about him being in the doghouse. Riggs was the first 2 years he was here. He would've had a great senior year if he didn't get injured in the Bama game.
 
The no huddle offense and the spread are not the same thing. Everyone realizes that, right? Looking at some of these posts, there seems to be a little confusion.
 
It would appear that CPF has seen the light if he ever didn't and has realized that the Vols have to evolve with the game.

Maybe a little of it can be attributed to "seeing the light", but more than anything - IMO - this is the first time in literally 4 years that we will enter the season with enough confidence in the QB position to try something like this.
 
But I am a Ainge homer....I do own a #10 jersey my wife bought me after the awesomeness that was his freshman year
 
BTW, someone earlier worried about defensive fatigue. The no huddle doesn't have to run faster it just allows you to dictate the pace much better and somewhat control what the defense can do and how they substitute. The Colts usually snapped within the last 5 seconds of the play clock.

He is right. The no huddle allows the QB to get up to the line and make adjustments and pick the D apart for 25 seconds. If anything, it wears out the D-line of the other team because they aren't used to being in a stance for 30 seconds. A no huddle is not neccessarily the same thing as a hurry up. They are two completely seperate offenses.
 
People are taking the comment too far. Fulmer said they will experiment with it. I would expect 10-15 plays at most a game - if any.
 
No... But this is coming straight out of the rivals article I just read. Quit being a smarta**. Seriously... "Now, Cutcliffe thinks it is the right time to go with a no-huddle offense." There's your quote. Do you need a link now too??
 
Oh they're doing more than expirementing with it. I think they plan on using it.

Like AZ said, using it and running it exclusively are two different things. I seriously doubt we'll see 40+ plays per game run with no huddle.

Per utsports.com, from Coach Phillip Fulmer:

"This particular spring, we are going to study and experiment with some no-huddle ideas as we go along. "

Fulmer is just a little bit on the conservative side when it comes to saying things in public in case you havent noticed.
 
I also said I think we'll see it 10-15 plays. You missed the point of my original post. People seem to think we'll be running every play with no huddle. We won't be.

I hope we don't run the offence we ran in '05 where the QB goes to the line, makes a read, looks at the coach, changes the play, snaps the ball. I just never got this offence. It seemed, at times, the D would (or could) throw a defensive look out, in disguise, we run a play based on that, and we all know the results.

I think it is wrong, in any aspect of life, to base what you do totally based on what a competiter does.

Any thoughts?
 
Good. Hope they do. Fulmer said the other day while eating lunch at Gibbs that Peyton was going to come down here and help Ainge out.

That was the stupified Randy Sanders no huddle for a mediocre QB. This is Cutcliffe's no huddle offense for a senior. It is very complicated, and a lot of pro teams run this style of offense, in particular Peyton Manning.

What freshman QB were we starting in 2005?
