how the hurry up spread offense works

the obvious gain is that it tires out the defense...

but the real secret is that it creates so much confusion... the middle linebacker usually does not get to make a blitz call... there isn't time, and the defense coaches have to stay very basic. and that is were mistakes happen... coach c is trying to push the limit even more than Oregon. he wants the offense ready to go immediately. check out this video on how it works

and this one. there is 0 time for the defense to get any stunts or line rushing schemes in. its like shell shock... with each snap the defense is just very standard. the linebackers are just sitting and waiting. which creates running lanes.

defensive coordinators have a very difficult time figuring out what the hell to do.
 
basically... its like eliminating the officer of the enemy forces. there are no orders. the troops just revert back to their fundementals, and it catches big strong guys just standing around.

that is why our defense in the scrimmage looked wild-eyed and confused... because they are. there is so much information to process, players looking to the sideline for assignments, chaos. if a defensive end isn't specifically told to bull rush, then there is a chance he just plays contain... and it happens at every position.
 
I like how during the confusion, it makes a RB look like a stud. What would normally be a 3 yard run can be a 30 yard run. Hopefully Wick has a couple of those this season.
 
Let's be honest, our defense has often looked confused over the last few seasons regardless of the offense being run. I think back to the second half of the Air Force game last year; there seemed to be complete confusion in the defense and we basically knew what was coming.
 
But I do agree on the strengths of the hurry up spread in general for a team that does not have the ability/personnel to run a power run offense.
 
no... I agree with you about our defense over the past two years... what im trying to highlight is that we are practicing and starting to build the efficiency required to make other defense's look just as lost.

if anything... at least our defense will be in shape and lost.

The fast pace can be huge negative if we go three and out. If we go three an out a couple time in a row the TOP can turn ugly and our awful defense will get scorched. We need them rested. Not likely in our scheme.

Even if the offense scores the defense probably won't be rested.
There will likely be a few drives that are under 2 minutes that result in a TD or punt.
 
I could see us being a Louisiana Tech this year.

Prolific offense. (More pass oriented than LTU was). Not so good Def. (Our is, I believe better than theirs was last year)

We may have a breakout year this year. That or we will have a mediocre year with A LOT of high scoring games, that will be fun to watch.

Just for fun. Predicting scores and games from past:

@ Neb L 32-42 (94)
Idaho W 40-38 (96)
N. Col W 41-16 (99) Web. St.
AFA W 43-26 (04)
Tex st. W 45-10 (11)
UNM W 42-28 (99)
CSU W 56-35 (89)
SJSU W 45-22 (96)
FSU L 24-38 (94)
BSU L 26-33 (03) (Game will close. A TD closer)
Haw W 52-6 (95)
USU W 48-21 (03)

9-3 High scoring fun! :thumb:

You should have made the N.Colorado score the score of the last time Wyo and UNC played. Didn't Wyo put up over 100 points?
 
UW has a breakout year, but loses to Fresno at home? Bulldogs were an average team on the road in 2012, and won't field the team they had last season. There were some key loses (Rouse, Alston, Thomas, etc.). Breakout season or no breakout season, Fresno better watch themselves when they go to Laramie.

Plus, Fresno has never beaten UW in Laramie.
