Did anyone just see how Ole Miss tempo just torched the FSU D? Snap .... 1 .... 2 .... ball out. Does not take talent to do that. It takes discipline and intelligence.
TEMPO!
- Thread starter PhDKnight
- Start date
That's because a WR was open after that 2 count. Laviano would be throwing to nobody after only a two count, and our OL won't give him any longer than that. Don't know what people want CL to do
It takes less than a 2 count for a decent opposing d-line to get penetration against this OL.
If you listened to our OC before the game he talked about types of tempo. Said you need to take game into account. When your D is getting rolled you don't go fast. No need to give the ball back to Washington after only 40 seconds. You will see much more tempo this weekend.
You're oversimplifying. Of course it takes talent.
What happens when the defense is disciplined and intelligent too? All other things being equal, the player that wins the battle is the player with more talent.
Any QB can drop back and throw the ball instantly. But if that QB has no receivers open instantly, or if the scheme provides no clear throwing lanes, then you're going to see nothing but interceptions and incompletions.
I do not agree with your arguement.
The whole point of high tempo offense is to neutralize the talent gap and it's how Texas Tech and Baylor became winners. Tempo gives you a chance to beat better teams. Playing slow ensures L's.
Agreed, and the QB for FSU that was able to rally his team to victory was a redshirt.
Just saying, playing QB ain't hard.
Throw the ball to the open man.
Playing QB ain't hard? And you just lost any credibility you might have had remaining...
Playing QB isn't hard when you're able to play from your armchair. Everyone knows that.
You might want to check the recruiting rankings.
Ole Miss has a ton of talent.
It does not take a ton of talent???? Why does Urban and SAban spend so much time recruiting?
1. That's what Dan Marino said. . . Not like he knows anything.
2. Recruiting isn't everything, ask Les Miles.
He can't win with NFL talent.

I didn't see a lot of separation by the WRs last night. Kelly made back shoulder throws all night. I get it that Kelly is good to very good but the idea that you can't scheme around a lack of speed isn't true. As PhD mentioned above, tempo is one way to do it. Misdirection is another way. I thought that's what we would see this year. I know it's only one game but our version of the spread last week looked a lot like the Wild Knight experiment.
He also left out the fact that Ole Miss was #5 in recruiting last year. Might as well say Ohio state and Alabama won without talent too.
At that point, it comes down to how complicated the offense is. Our old pro-style offense had multiple reads on every play and there was a progression of reading the defense from primary receiver to the secondary receivers. By contrast, Brian Kelly's offense in Cincinnati had 1 read per play; it was a matter of snap the ball, read the defender specified by the play, and execute based on what he does. So simple, they could win games with their 4th & 5th stringer starting.
Offensive Coaches tend to fair better in rebuilds, than a Defensive Minded Coach.
So much rides on getting the right QB, and the correct system, that it clearly favors an Offensive Coach like Hermann.
if Syracuse upsets Louisville, this board is gonna be in full melt down mode.
Where did I say that playing an up-tempo game isn't helpful in leveling the talent gap?
You said "Snap .... 1 .... 2 .... ball out. Does not take talent to do that. It takes discipline and intelligence." Which is great. Unless your receivers lack the talent or experience or coaching to get separation within that 2-count.
You are oversimplifying that hell out of it. Getting a high tempo offense to work well is obviously not nearly as simple as "snap 1 2 ball out". A lot of things have to go right for that to work. And a talented, well-coached defense can mess up those things.
In football, like just about everything else, there are no magic bullets.
Well, I guess you're right, then. Playing quarterback ain't hard ... when you're Dan Marino.
