They ran some no huddle in the Spring but I’m pretty certain if they don’t huddle it won’t be a hurry up no huddle style like we saw under Butch. But, at this point no one really knows.

If we had a team of all 5* players who were seniors, we would still huddle unless we were in a situation were the close was running out and we were behind in the score.

They ran more shotgun sets in the spring than the I. But, they did run some 1 back under center. I expect to see the one back under center a lot this season and in short yardage and goal line I expect to see the I.

They will run very similar stuff that Butch ran under Deborg during passing situations and when they want to go hurray up.

Just my opinion based on what we saw them do in the Spring. We will know for certain soon.

Huddle, run clock, make first downs, punt or score, keep defense off the field, limit WV time with ball. RX for winning this game.

A lot depends on the situation. There are certainly times when you want to play keep away and there are other times when you want to put pressure on the defense by not huddling.

I just hope this staff is much better than recognizing those situations and adjusting during the game than the last staff.

I wish they’d do a show of just in the huddle conversations from games. There is some great stuff in huddles in general!

No reason to give WV more possessions

We'll huddle and drain the clock down on every play.

The "No Huddle" offense works great.....unless you continually go "3 and out" as we did under Botch. I prefer to slow the game down....keep the opposing team's D on the field as long as possible while giving our D time to rest. GO VOLS!!!!

I think it was WV I was watching the other day that did a half huddle. The linemen lined up and everyone else huddled. Maybe it's done all the time, I just never paid attention. It was Will Geer's offense, I think.

Go Vols.

Huddle TO run clock. He--, many no huddle teams (us included) still can't get a play off before time runs out. I know, sometimes they are trying to run the play clock down. But o-line men seem to have trouble holding formation to the quick trigger end of the play clock.

I heard we are going no huddle, just come to the line and call "Omaha" every play.

Huddle's are nice because if you have a guy in who doesn't really know the plays you can easily be like you have a corner post you idiot. Boom guy knows he has a corner post.

Guessing most of the time yes, situations will dictate going to no huddle. Standard stuff imo. Just a guess.

That part may be no different but I like the mindset of a team that huddles. They just seem more business-like and more calm. It gives veterans an opportunity to keep youngsters focused on the next play.

Hear, hear! It was way back in the dark ages when I played at Roane County High (mid to late '60's) , but one of the most memorable segments of my wonderful days with our mighty Yellow Jackets was the between-the-plays communication we used to keep everybody on the same page. This was the time either (and as needed) encouragement or calling out was done between all eleven fellas all bunched together. No-huddle leaves those guys on their separate islands. I agree with doing so when tempo can be amped way up so to beat down a worn out defense or to throw them out of whack when they're on their heels. I'd say Coach Helton's going to go with all-huddle until later in the game...utilizing no-huddle for the aforementioned applications. 'Can't wait 'til it's football time in Tennessee!

Remembering hand signals AND focusing on your task can be a bit much starting out. It's not that difficult, but it makes a lot more sense to allow players to learn their playbook before you start throwing too much at them. It's one of those things that doesn't seem like it's a big deal because it feels so minor and it seems so easy, but it adds up to all the things you gotta thinking about. Especially if this offense is an advanced pro style offense.

As others have mentioned the clock-huddle or no huddle, I hope that clock management improves 1000% over the last few years....
