TAMPA, Fla. - For a majority of last week's game, the University of Houston went with an up-tempo offense to keep the Memphis defense on its heels.Coach Major Applewhite refers to the faster pace as "Call It 'N Haul It."

"After the game, I told (offensive coordinator Brian Johnson) that's the rhythm, that's the tempo that I want us to play with," Applewhite said. "I want us to play faster. I want to get formations lined up quicker."

 

Going with an up-tempo offense is nothing new in college football, and the Cougars have run some variation that has produced lots of points and yards through the years.

With the rate their QB throws interceptions, an up-tempo offense might not be the best idea.
