re: LSU on Espn this morning

Lord, do you not watch college football? Many, if not most, college teams get play(s) in as quick as possible and get set on the line ASAP.....this prevents the D from subbing players and forces them to get defensive call in and the defense set early.....this then allows the QB to take his time, survey the field to see what the defense is giving him.....QB can then call for the ball with the initial play that was called in or audible to secondary play (or run the RPO).....a hurry up or uptempo or whatever you want to call it offense does not mean that you are trying to hike the ball ASAP every time.....it gives them the option to do that when advantageous and have the D on the ropes and gassed.....but IMO the most important thing it does is puts the offense in more control of the game by not allowing the defense to sub as much and rest between plays, they have to get back up to the line of scrimmage and always be ready for the quick snap.

Again, just because we get set as quick as possible does not mean we are running a Chip Kelly type offense and potentially wear our D out with quick 3 and outs. It gives us options and more control of what the defense can do.
