I have a question to ask Volnation. Do you guys feel that a uptempo offense allows you to get more out of a receiver that might not be as talented as the guys around him because of the chaos it can cause. I have noticed some teams are what referred to a system teams which means they don't recruit real highly "Oklahoma St." but they seem to always have a really good offense. What are some thoughts on this.

It absolutely will get more from less, if executed properly. The uptempo offense keeps the defense on their heels and it also provides mismatch opportunities for the offense.

The only problem is if this offensive system is not executed properly or if the opposing defense is just really well prepared, the defense comes back out on the field quickly and they end up very gased by the 3rd qtr.

That's my take on it. Just gotta execute and have innovative play calling

I agree with Bielema's comments at the SEC media gathering. He said it leads to more injuries due to players that should be coming out for a breather being forced to stay in. Others are suggesting that there will be NCAA rules changes in the near future. I think there is a difference in "up tempo" and "hurry up" schemes. By their design, the super fast offenses are designed to prevent substitutions on defense and wear them down. Neyland's teams wore the opposition down and did it at a traditional tempo.

Bottom line: Just win, baby!

All I know is I wanted to see Bielema and Malzahn duke it out right then and there to settle the matter for once and for all.

I think it's an incredible way to play football, if you can do it. I mean, it seriously takes a mastering of an offense and its signals. Very intricate, instinctual, masterful way of playing football. And I personally love it. Does it lead to injuries? I don't really see where it does. It leads to defenses faking injuries in order to catch their breath, but I don't see how it leads to injuries more so than anything else would. I love watching a fast paced, hurry up offense work. I gotta admit, I love watching Oregon football. I just love how they play. Except when against us. Hopefully, this year, it won't matter, and we'll keep up with them and beat them or keep it close.

Here's five things that can help a guy that doesn't have NFL talent be a good college receiver.

1. Run precise routes so your QB can throw the ball on time and you will be there.
2. Run every route like you are the primary receiver; never take a play off
3. Catch the ball when you get it thrown to you. Focus baby focus
4. Block like a mad man on running plays to the echo of the whistle
5. Be physical - short of body slamming a DB you won't get called for offensive PI

Scheme don't mean a thing if you don't execute. JMHO

It leads to more plays in a game. The more live plays, the greater the opportunity of injury, fatigued or not.
If an up tempo team averages 10 plays more per game, that is roughly 130 extra plays per year. That equates to two extra games worth of plays. Are you saying that playing two extra games wouldnt increase the risk of injury?

Maybe so with rule changes, but I don't want to see 9 to 6 games every Saturday, and that's what you are describing with Neyland's style of winning. Those teams could barely complete a forward pass.

It's ok on occasions when there are two really great defenses on the field, but most of the time, a game that ends with both teams scoring in the twentys is much more entertaining.

If there are changes to the rule book, I would suggest that they increase the scholarship limit from 85 to 100 players, to allow teams to have more depth.

Just my two cents,

Not sure if this answers your question. I like BSU's coach. I like TCU's coach. I like BYU's coach. I like our coach. All for the same reason. They coach up their players. You want a good team, you teach and coach your players to be good players. You make them believe they aren't scared of anybody because everybody is scared of them. Or at least leery for darn good reason so you aren't taken lightly by anybody. I also like those coaches because they come to a game with a game plan that can work if executed right and can make adjustments when that's necessary. Doesn't matter what offense they run. They bring a well coached team with an attitude of, "Don't blink, cause if you do, you'll leave the field without your azz cause we're going to beat it off you."

With the Vols lack of talent across the board, we will indeed have to get more from less to win more than 1-2 SEC games. 2016 or 2017 we should be able to match up better with SEC teams....patience is the order of the day for Vol fans. I have a feeling there will be much whinning and crying come late October.
