How to slow down the hurry up Offense,, simple , find the position on Defense you plan on rotating players @. At the end of the play, the Defensive player 1 has "cramps", lays down, waits 45 seconds b4 going to bench, repeat as needed
There is no direct correlation between toughness and honor. One can be tough without honor and one can be honorable without toughness. Dont conflate the two. There are a lot of tough cheaters out there.If you coach your team to be soft...they will be. You can't coach a team with a philosophy of toughness (like Pruitt has been saying), then tell them to fake injuries. It is not congruent.

Some teams instill toughness AND teach them to take advantage of every competitive edge that may be looked down at by the stodgy purists. If faking injuries gains a competitive advantage and isn't penalized in the game, do it. It doesn't make you the opposite of tough. It makes you opportunistic.I'm talking about instilling a mindset of mental toughness. If you are looking for a way to game the system because you are convinced that you aren't tough enough to compete...then you have begun the cycle of the self-fulfilling prophecy. How did the laying down work for Bowling Green in that game? I really don't know...can you tell me how many teams have used the injury fake-out and won the game (where they otherwise would have lost)? Sure, Auburn did it in '13 against Arkansas...but Auburn won that game by 20 points, anyway.

THats the beauty of it. They have to run a base D just to see what we will do. Then as they adjust we can throw in some twists and keep them on their hills. If I was them I would load up the box and try to stuff our run game.I’m thinking there gonna have a 4 down look at some point in the game. Depends on how we’re running the ball but I just can’t see them not changing it up or throwing us a curveball if we start showing big numbers against their base d.
