Discuss Heupel's Offense

[Russdaddy2027]

So we may expect Bailey to peace out?

I doubt it, he was willing to play for an unproven HC in JP... AT least CJH has some experience and success at the healm

 

[tennesseeduke]

So Butch Jones?

GTFO

 

[Volador]

You and X's & O's guys speak up on how this guy's offense looks.

It HAS to be BETTER than Chaneys, so nuff said, right??

 

[tennesseeduke]

You and X's & O's guys speak up on how this guy's offense looks. Does he use TE's? Does it require mobile QB's? How elite is the speed he has had available at UCF? Will it probably require smaller linemen? Does he use a lot of misdirection? Does the QB ever take snaps under center? Does his offense throw the ball down the field? How does he use his RB's? Feel free to add any other questions.

This isn’t Kiffin or Leach with short passes instead of a run type system. It’s a balanced high tempo attacking O.

Exactly

 

[VFFL@THE BEACH]

I think the biggest problem Butch had, outside of Dobbs, was using QB's there were not a fit for a RPO system. That and wildly predictable play calling.

Dude could not admit publicly that he needed a mobile quarterback. His system was "infallible" and could be run by anyone.

Right..

 

[cwbytruckers]

The good thing about JH is that he is flexible and has adapted his offense based on who was QB - even mid season due to injuries (unlike some of our past stubborn coaches who only knew one thing)

I think he will make believers out of some. The guy can flat out coach offense for sure. Was he my first choice? No. But at least its not Elliott.

 

[Smokeyone]

His worst rushing O was 25th in the nation. 2017 had a 1,100 yard rusher in 2020 in a short season had a 750 and 650 yard back. No rushing QB needed. Similar in 2019 with 4 RBs over 500 yards rushing.

This isn’t Kiffin or Leach with short passes instead of a run type system. It’s a balanced high tempo attacking O.

And no the traditional TE slot is not utilized in the passing game.

"Spread ISO Offense"

Not just running from the shotgun but intentionally spreading out the offense across the field. A big emphasis on the running game, mostly by forcing defenses to commit to one-on-one matchups against the receivers and emptying the box.

[BOC]

Okay, but when it's 1st and Goal at the 1, does he allow his QB to be under center?

 

[AstonRoyal]

So we may expect Bailey to peace out?

I think he coached Sam Bradford when he won the heisman an so I imagine he’ll be able to adapt. But I don’t know about what offense he’ll bring

 

[Steve_Smith89]

Yes

 

[neyland05]

Man anyone worried about his offense obviously doesn't remember what his offense did to us a few years ago.

 

[BOC]

Yes

Oh Thank Heavens.

 

[Sea Ray]

Right..

Heupel's offense does generally use a mobile QB. I don't know that HB is a fit. That guy we picked up from Va Tech might be though.

 

[EODVOL]

Smaller linemen will NOT work in the SEC, good grief Jones tried that crap. Surely he don't think that will work. We better have a running game also. This is a LOS league, bama throws the ball but they have a LOS and can run the ball as well. Bama,LSU and every team that wins the SEC owns the LOS and can do it all. Nothing is changing that. Certainly not smaller lineman. GBO!

If you looked at UCF's roster, you will see that their linemen are approx. the same size as UT's. They have some big boys. Being that UCF isn't in the SEC doesn't mean they don't know how SEC ball is built, It is still a Florida school and Florida knows football.

 

[BigOrangeLoyalist]

Jones thought he was reinventing football.

Heupel definitely has his own "style" but has drawn from a lot of successful systems.

Sjt, I think you are one of the more knowledgeable posters OTB when it comes to X’s and O’s ... How do you feel about the hire?

 

[Steve_Smith89]

Heupel's offense does generally use a mobile QB. I don't know that HB is a fit. That guy we picked up from Va Tech might be though.

Ideally a mobile QB, yea, but a QB could still execute his offense without being able to run.

 

[RiseToTheTop]

I’m looking forward to seeing consistent completed forward passes again. It’s been a while.

 

[orange parmejohn]

He likes to go warp speed on offense, don’t expect much in the way of time of possession.

I hope he doesn't run up tempo like Butch Jones and give the defense the opportunity to sub out players every play. ha

he does. Lol

 

[jpope9]

So we may expect Bailey to peace out?

was Drew Locke known for his running ability?

 

[orange parmejohn]

Do you guys see Beckwith staying at RB in this system?

 

[norriscraftbasser]

If you are a H.S defensive player this will be a good opportunity because you will get a whole bunch of playing time. Defense on the field most of the time.

 

[orange parmejohn]

I have no idea.
