Is short practice to blame for slow starts?

We've seen slow starts in all 3 games under CEO.

While less time footballing = more energy and focus on Saturday is it to blame for the slow starts?

Dominating second half is more important than first but can Tigers afford the slow starts with the gauntlet ahead? Is there a better balance?

Thoughts?

We've seen slow starts in every game this year, therefore, it has no effect.

I think the slow starts are more to do with wanting to come out throwing.

I heard a perfect start AND finish requires four, 57-minute practices per week. No more, no less.

If this is an honest representation on your logic you need to wear a helmet for everyday life.

O has everyone taking a nap right before kickoff in an attempt to stay fresh for the 2nd half. They are still groggy in the 1st half. I've heard that O is making everyone slam a Red Bull before going out Saturday.

I never mentioned Bama. It's a question of balance with the 4 biggest challenges left to play.

MMA fighters don't come out throwing haymakers in the first round. They have to feel each other out. Kinda the same thing. You can rehearse what the first 10 plays you want to run but you never know what defense the other team will counter with. Seems that our halftime adjustments have been doing just fine.

Ole miss was beating bama 24-3 with 2:47 left in the 1st half. How does those fast starts worked out for the black bears this year?

In what way was Missouri a "slow start"? At the end of the first quarter it was 7-0, outgained them 158-26, and if not for a failed 4th down conversion would have been up 2 scores.

Explain your rationale for asking the question. How would shorter practices be in any way related to a slow start in games? Perhaps there is a correlation that I am not seeing.
