Whether "we" (fans, coaches etc) like it or not. Speeding up the pace causes ALL defenses problems. I've yet to see any defense consistently "shut down" an offense that was in hurry up mode. Especially if the team running it had elite athletes. Do I like that style of play? No, I don't. But there's no denying with Sims under center and the times we've gone hurry up no huddle he has instantly flourished. So IMO, it has to be a part of the game plan on some level.No matter what plays we run against The Gators..I sure hope we play in our HUNH style of offense that Blake has ran to perfection the 1st couple of games this year..I just watched the replay of our game against S Miss & the 1st half we went back to the slowed down huddle up after each play, and we looked really confused in the 1st half lot at times, then the 1st drive of the 2nd half, we went back to the HUNH offense, that we ran the 1st 2 games of the year with Blake running our offense & we went straight down the field in a dominating kinda way without any confusing at all..Our offense & Blake looks so much better when we go to the HUNH style of play on offense..If Blake is going to be our starter..Then we need to run the HUNH style of offense with Blake..Cause our offense is as explosive as any offense in the country when we run that style of offense..And Coach Kiffin seems more comfortable calling plays when he has to have the play called really quickly..JMHO
I agree that Sims (and the rest of the offense) seems much more comfortable in the no-huddle, but don't confuse it too much with a HUNH. The goal seems to be to get to the line of scrimmage quicker and give Blake more time to look over the defense as opposed to getting the play off as quickly as possible. Oddly enough, the no-huddle seems to allow him to not rush to get the plays off.No matter what plays we run against The Gators..I sure hope we play in our HUNH style of offense that Blake has ran to perfection the 1st couple of games this year..I just watched the replay of our game against S Miss & the 1st half we went back to the slowed down huddle up after each play, and we looked really confused in the 1st half lot at times, then the 1st drive of the 2nd half, we went back to the HUNH offense, that we ran the 1st 2 games of the year with Blake running our offense & we went straight down the field in a dominating kinda way without any confusing at all..Our offense & Blake looks so much better when we go to the HUNH style of play on offense..If Blake is going to be our starter..Then we need to run the HUNH style of offense with Blake..Cause our offense is as explosive as any offense in the country when we run that style of offense..And Coach Kiffin seems more comfortable calling plays when he has to have the play called really quickly..JMHO
I wonder if the verbiage or the length of the play being called is causing the issue. I know listening to Jon Gruden repeat some of the West Coast plays he ran as a coach they are very, very lengthy and confusing. Since Kiffin runs a WC style offense I wonder if this is the case with our plays?I agree that Sims (and the rest of the offense) seems much more comfortable in the no-huddle, but don't confuse it too much with a HUNH.

Last night, Coach Saban said that they installed new plays for Sims to run this weekend. i think they are installing a new wrinkle looks that invovles Howard and other TEs. Look for us to play in unbalanced formations, I think we're going to force Florida Defense to play off the passes so our running games can take off.
Let me ask you this: What teams played well against our defense last year and this year? Texas A and M, Auburn, Okalhoma, WVU... and now we're facing team with similar defense to our... what do you do Install the read options, quick short passes, unblanced formations, We're using our lesson learned from previous game and use it against Florida. BOOM!
Coker will start and throw the deep ball on every play until we either score or throw an INT. Then Sims takes over and we run our regular offense.
Is blue font really needed for this comment?Did you meant to put this in blue font?
Well, technically, I think the comment was more facetious than sarcastic if my opinion is worth anything.Is blue font really needed for this comment?
Oh, great. Now we need another font color.Well, technically, I think the comment was more facetious than sarcastic if my opinion is worth anything.
