WE have GOT TO improve on this and make the O something to be feared, not the slow methodical thing it is! STOP all the look backs and delays to the sideline!

To me, this is just an empty statistic. I would rather be the slowest paced team in America and have 10 wins than to be the fastest paced team and have 4 wins.
If they can tie the pace into how it impacts win/loss, then maybe it has value.
The list says that Tulsa has a faster pace than FAU, a game I believe we have a good chance to win…and that Miami has a slower pace than FAU, a game I believe we have a probable chance to lose.
If we lose to Tulsa and beat Miami, then this stat may mean something but based on just this list…not so sure.

Look at MTSU's win over Ga. Tech. A running team has a hard time keeping up with that and is forced to change it's game and do something it is usually not the greatest at. For us, a better O and we win away at Navy, at Rice, at Wyoming. Losses againt UAB and ODU last year, at home we need to be scoring in the 30's MINIMUM.
All season changing loses for the Owls in recent years. WE have to score in the 20's MINIMUM every road for a better chance to win, our D is always too small and thin to hold scores down very often.
Speed, points and excitement WILL sell tickets though!

We lost two games last season because we couldnt eat up the clock and our opponents could.

The problem seems like at our level, most defenses aren't that great, so they get easily exploited by faster offenses. So this is something we should get really good at. I'd happily trade losses to Miami and Florida for the opportunity to exploit more weaker CUSA defenses.

Another thing that frustrates me (and I could just be a jerk), but people always seem to mix up the spread offense and the no huddle offense (HUNH). The spread lends itself to the up-tempo offense, but they're not the same thing.Posted On: May 18th 2015, 12:13 PM #345372
You can thank Oregon for that!
