It hasn't gassed the defense, is a leftover time from the Big 12 and doesn't work. Ohio State doesn't use it nor Alabama nor Georgia nor did Saban. The only thing it is fit for is to keep the X-Box generation interested in the game. With their Attention Deficit Disorder they think they are watching a video game. Light shows fascinate them as well.

Thanks for sharing that. I'll let Josh and Danny know. Wish you could have said this 5 years prior and saved us all the heartache of watching the worst offense (statistically) in the ncaa.

Someone tell Ole Miss too. Don’t want them ruining the best season in school history.

Tennessee doesn't really run the hurry up much anymore. at least not nearly to the level they used to.

I disagree. UGA uses a fair amount of hurry up in spots, and not just in 2-minute situations. Tempo stresses defenses and limits their ability to sub and communicate. It puts teams on their heels and makes them reactive. Offenses get to dictate pace and that’s a big advantage.

Tempo isn’t a gimmick, it’s a tool. You don’t want to make that one tool an identity, but you want to have the right tool for the job. Your offense against UGA had a ton of success, and it was largely a mix of deep passes and tempo.

From reading your posts, one would think we're 3-6. There's absolutely nothing you like about the team, or at least it seems that way. Lots of teams play fast and at times, the teams you mentioned do as do some in the NFL. It's not always during a two minute scenario either.

Literally everybody uses tempo and we probably don’t use it as much as you think. Kind of like we’re not a pass happy, Air Raid offense like a lot of people think.

Tennessee averages 43 points per game. I am sure that defenses are tired and it does result in broken coverages and breaks more frequently than you can understand. I do believe it's hard to have a great defense with the rate the offense plays at, but I also love seeing points so there is that.

They only stop using it when it's working. I've never seen anything like it. We'll use it one series and score like there's nothing to it, then the next... we huddle every play and slow waaaay down. It's comical.
