[QUOTE="floridajacket, post: 18818, member: 695"] This is my thought as well on the no-huddle offense and run vs. pass-based offense in general. A no-huddle, pass-based offense maximizes the number of points you score but also the number of points your opponent scores, assuming the opponent's offensive points per drive remains the same. To be effective, no-huddle offenses need to increase points per drive and not just total number of points. Having more depth than your opponent is the main factor that works in favor of the no-huddle and passing vs. running. The points per drive goes up as the number of plays goes up, as we saw with how our defense broke down late in the UGA game. Whether you are ahead or behind also makes a big difference in deciding whether to do a hurry-up offense. As long as your points per drive is the same between no-huddle and regular offense, it makes no sense to go no-huddle with the lead. It is possible that for Auburn or Oregon, their points per drive goes up enough with their speed that it offsets giving their opponent more drives when they are up. They are also helped and not hurt by their depth. I'm not sure I see the case for GT going no-huddle in general, with the execution our plays require and how our depth would work against us. I would be interested, though, in implementing some sort of two minute drive either as a surprise tactic earlier in the game or when we fall behind like the Clemson game. [/QUOTE]
