What to Expect from UNT offense in 2019

[TheReal_jayD]

Bodie up tempo pace is very appealing to Seth. It was frustrating last year when we would be on drives and have teams on the ropes. Then sub and allow the defense to get fresh legs in. I believe it was equally frustrating to SL.  I know Briles is hated for his actions or lack there of. But he was a hell of a football coach. I would not be surprised to see North Texas offense ran next year very similar to what Briles did at Baylor. The air raid with uptempo pace that allows you to wear down a defense and catch them off guard. Seth had a lot of mutual respect for GH and I think that is why he didnt step on his toes. But GH would like to let the defense set up. Then make the play calling decision off what the defense is giving you. As versus the other way around. Will be exciting to watch it Develop

I'm looking forward to some more uptempo stuff. It was fairly disappointing when I learned we were adopting the air raid, but running it at a snails pace at times.

Uptempo and clock mgmt would be nice!

Question:  Itshard to tell from the highlight videos, but did EWU utilize an up tempo offense?  

Seems like with any system that uses a lot of presnap motion that it is a lot of working parts to keep at that pace throughout an entire four quarters.  At some point your own players on offense gotta get a  breath.

Score in 5-7 plays and there's no reason to even sub.

Here is Eastern Washington's stat card from last season.  They were #3 in total offense and # 4 in scoring offense while staying balanced (#10 in rushing and #20 in passing offense).  The only (minor) downside is TOP, where they ranked 117th out of 124.  But I'm OK with this if teams are constantly chasing you from behind.  Furthermore, you're never really out of a game if you can strike quickly.  Should be an exciting season.

Being able to convert on 3rd or 4th and 1 would be nice   😎

Impressive record considering having a defense ranked 68th.

You mean to run a different play other than running it right up the gut?  Genius!

It is hard on the defense.  Look at teams that run up tempo.  They all struggle on defense to a degree.  Defense has always been Tech's Achilles Heal, OU's defense dropped in the rankings once they went up temp, and other teams that run this system seem to give up a lot of points.  Good depth is the key.  Imagine playing Army for instance, a team that eats of the clock with long possessions.  They wear down a defense, and when your goals is to score in 5 to 7 plays, your defensive players are not getting a chance to really rest.  We need defensive depth.

But if you are effective then you score 40-60 and their defense is completely worn out. Maybe you give up 30 or more but you can still win. See 2017 FAU.
